Ron:
It may be a myth, but the free market is the myth that most of the world lives by. Even if you
yourself reject it, it's worth understanding so you can fathom how others act.
As for "well-rewarded henchmen," I fear that this is jargon that represents some person or
company that I know, but don't feel the same way about. I think that you want me to hate
somebody, but you don't tell me who or why. Labels are no substitute for explination here.

Wow...this is a whole ideology. I thought that Rolf and I (and the original poster) were talking
about marketing photography. I'm going to stay away from these sorts of topics and leave
them to the idealists of the world.
Actually, I'm glad to see at least one idealist out there. I just feel left out when there's tons of
emotion, but no clarification.
BTW...are you the Ron from Beach Corners, Wisconsin? Just curious to see your work.
