A short thought
If you believe in the free market, you MUST NOT allow a monopoly or a cartel to happen. If you do not regard a monopoly or cartel as the worst thing that can happen to a free market, you do not believe in free markets at all. And you will have a sweet time making sure, because businessmen, as a rule, hate competition.

YOu stick me with the straw-man "socialist" and use it to demonize me, and then have the nerve to tell me that is what I am doing? Come on, nominate any judge you like, and let a third party decide who is the aggressor and the straw-man merchant here. I do not think I am dealing with reason here.
