A recent blog by Chris Sullivan has made me revisit this topic which I have discussed a number of times on the various debate forums which I frequent. This time I felt the need to dive in a bit more in-depth in the form of this missive. The common adage […]
The amazing thing about the free market is the seemingly infinite customization. Take for instance automobiles. The last vehicle I purchased, I ordered directly from the factory.
