I would think that I produce a positive image with clientel at my office. I am one of the first people seen and keeping the atmosphere light and easy makes clients time here much easier. By doing this positive feedback and thereby word of mouth help give us a positive reference when and it a friend or family of a current client needs us. In the end my job and others are preserved and we are able to expand our services to new areas. This is as good as I can describe a Capitalistic attitude for me.

cap·i·tal·ist No, I do not make such a mistake. However, you're pointing out these three definitions greatly advances the purpose of this thread. And I do not accept any of these definitions except perhaps 2. The investor may not be the producer, but the investor may fund the producer/inventor. (Just like I do not accept the Supreme Court ruling that "Corporations are people.") |

I guess I'm a capitalist. I bought stock in XM satellite radio. Bob DeWoody My motto: Never do today what you can put off until tomorrow as it may not be required. This no longer applies in light of current events. |

Oh dear, I bought some British Gas shares when they were privatised in 1986. Am I now dammed for all eternity ..... Yes you are. However you may be burnt at a lower cost to the rest of us. Don't take life too seriously, as you'll never come out of it alive! |

'ello Terry! Blooming "capitalist"...I suppose you intend to use the divi from your shares to support your retirement so that your not state dependent on support. Giving you a sense of independents that allows you to sleep peacefully at night knowing that along with your rightfully state and company pensions your not going to be a drag on society or your family. How dare you maintain this independence through thoughtful planning of your finances all those years ago. Other than this, "got any good share tips" Chris.......

In the "End" socialism "WILL" win! I do no think many of us would subscribe to your definitions of capitalism and socialism. Knowing that communist thinkers placed a great deal of emphasis on how tool use allowed our minds to changed I wonder if any of them ever thought of capital ... money, as a tool which became not a means but an end? Anyway, on what do you base your belief that "proper use could accelerate Human evolution irreversibly." |
