   The point is that there are NO rational workings of the market.  It is not   
   rational to allow slave, child, and elder labor.  There are no rational   
   reasons for human beings to treat each other like animals and excuse the   
   behavior by blaming the market.  WE control the market.  Period.  If we   
   allowed "the efficacy of economic laws" Attila the Hun would still be   
   running the world.  The market says he who has all the gold rules ... do you   
   want to live that way.  We are headed back in that direction and it really   
   sucks.
