"Business is business" ~ David Luca

If ever anyone says to you that there's nothing inherently wrong with asystem where "value" is code for "dollar value" think of Mr. Lucas here (a farmer from the UK) who sells gallows to African nations such as Zimbabwe. I'm not convinced by the Liberal Party's argument that somekind of laissez-faire market-regulated system will ensure this, history shows that ethics arenot necessarily going to be particularly financially lucrative (rememberthat Swiss stockpiling of Nazi loot par example?).

Perhaps increasing age is actually more likely to make me a socialist.. Very strange.
