What
decisions should NOT be left to the free market / commercial realm?Most of them dealing
with the environment, Social Security, or Medicare. Businesses are only out for a
profit, and a lot of people aren't good consumers / savers. Republicans look out only for
their rich self righteous buddies.

I don't really understand this question, so
I probably shouldn't answer it.

I have no idea what you're talking about,
nor do I feel the need to find out. That kind of thing doesn't interest me.

The one that immediately comes to
mind, is letting scientists clone people/babies and
then have them sold.

Such a large question. So little time.

Very few, if one believes that the free
market practices enlightened self interest, lots more if you think that it is only out for
immediate, short term profit.

This question is either poorly worded or
over my head, probably the latter.

Wether or not to make ketchup green. (Nah, I
don't really understand the question. but that green stuff sure is freaky)

If we lived in a truly free market society
that meant that the cheapest and best products and services were delivered to the public
with the minimal amount of harm, than probably nothing. However, in the way the world
really works, I don't want the market to decide whether or not I deserve medical care, who
I get to vote for, whether or not my kids get a quality education, and probably a whole
range of other things.

Any decision that business can make to take
advantage of their consumers or their workers should not be left to them. Decisions
involving the general welfare and safety of workers should not be left to the commercial
realm. Decisions about minimum wage should not be left to the commercial realm.
Decisions about whether or not to create a monopoly should not be left to the
commercial realm. Governmental regulation and intervention in the free market is neccesary
to protect the "little guys."

Gee Dan, I don't know. . . I guess I'm
pretty fiscally conservative, in most ways(whatever the fuck that means. . ). . .. . .The
free market usually does pretty well in determining our fates, I believe. . . .I suppose
personal liberties shouldn't be violated or infringed upon, but I really don't think the
free market system, as we work it here, cares terribly much about that . .
