The government has an exclusive monopoly on physical force. They and only they can put you in jail. They have the big guns. Microsoft only has capital.
That would be a libertarians problem with the government.

Stereotyping is not wrong?
So stating that you are Black so you predisposed to not do well in this position or to do well in another one is ok?
Are you telling me that man can and should be put in categories like dogs?
So if Pit Bull == dog
but dog != Pit Bull
and people are the same way.
I don't think people can or should be classified that way.

I am not a humanist.
Humanist tend to believe in a colective will.
I do not. There is only the will of the individual.
The fact of the matter is that stating that you should not equate two races as being alike is rasists.
If I was a humanist and believed in a collective will. I might also believe that there is a collective Asian will and thus belive that there is diffrences between races. Being that there is only individual will making any statement stating that there is diffrences between people and that thoes diffrences can be tied to skin color _is_ racist.

What do you think the black monolith was? And if you were stating that kids in 20 years will not understand that, then that has all ready happened.
"The country had a huge fall because people before the Great Depression where following the "true spirit of capitalism" and investing all of their money".
You are half correct. But the real question is why were they investing all there money?
The simple answer is investors were seeing high returns. Then you would logically ask the question , What was causing the high returns?
Now this is where it gets difficult. The Federal Reserve was established in 1919. Now lets establish that the Federal Reserve in _not_ a capitalistic idea. In fact it is a Marxist one (it is one of the ten tenets of communism outlined in the Communist Manifesto).At that time there was a _lot_ of pressure put on the Government by socialists parties, special interests, and unions. The Government followed the "will of the people" and started instituting _some_ of the Marxist ideas. These same groups put pressure on the Federal Reserve to keep interest rates low, and they did. This led to the boom of the 20's but the interest rates were keep to low for to long and by the time the 30's came along inflation had taken over, the market had crashed , so on etc..
"The outcome of that was that we got laws to limit "the true spirit of capitalism" in order to protect the economy."
Again you are only half right. The outcome was that we did get new laws to limit "the true spirit of capitalism" (what ever the hell that is) but thoes laws along with the the establishment of the Federal Reserve and other government control measures were at least partially if not wholly responsible.
"Economics is not about ideologies, or and cool catchphrases such as "the true spirit of capitalism", it is about creating a finely balanced machine that can handle whatever falls within its framework."
You say "Economics is not about ideologies" tell that to Adam Smith, Ayn Rand, or Allen Greenspan and you might get laughed at or called evil by Ms. Rand (to of those people are no longer with us). Capitalism stems from the belief in individual rights. That my goods and property are mine and mine alone and I can do with them as I choose. So yes capitalism is about and ideology and no it is not about "cool catchphrases". Plus Marx had much better catch phrases than any capitalists.
OSS is a capitalistic idea. Please see my user info page for how that applies to Objectivism (one of them crazy capitalistic ideologies). The short of it is that your resources are yours and you can do with them as you choose.

You could not be any more correct. The market will decide if it is beneficial or not. I suspect that it is going to be around for a long time.

I also have Road Runner. I have a 486 with 2 NE2000 NICs 16 megs of ram running NAT (IP masquerading) and acting as a file server (I have to have a place to store my MP3s). It runs great.
I have set up my/etc/hosts.allow file to only allow connections from my local subnet and NFS (for my MP3s) only allows connections from one host on my local subnet.
There you go, a fairly secure home network that is very easy to set up.
Set up the 486 to run IP masquerading. You are then capable to run more than one computer off the same connection if you ever need to in the future.
