re: Fox's post.
Yeah, my post, not Tony's.
What do you call it when a couple of private equity firms bring two major environmental groups to the table without coercion on either side, to vet their plan to make the biggest leveraged buyout in US history, so far... and reach a compromise agreeable to all parties, then proceed with the purchase?
Is that not a Free Market in operation?
Or is capitalism measured in "degrees of freedom" -- to borrow an engineering term -- and if the market assumes a vector you don't like, it can't by definition be free?
