I long ago formed a view of capitalism that regards it as similar to fire. It is a powerful force which can warm our home and cook our food. In short, it can be very useful, maybe even essential, but ONLY if it is kept tightly controlled. Fire has no conscience, it only wants to be fed, and it always demands more. Before one brings fire into their home, one builds a fire-proof containment vessel. When designing this fire-box we do not let â??fireâ?? decide how thick to build the steel walls or how tightly the gaskets fit. â??Fireâ?? does not even get a vote.
We have given in to the demands of â??fireâ??. We have sacrificed all the furniture. We have allowed fire to escape the box and become the master. The house is burning down, the roof is gone, the walls are burnt almost to the substructure, and our very foundation is at risk. Viewed in this manner, everyone, whether or not they are totally anti-â??fireâ??, can understand the urgency of getting the damn thing back in the box. ~ Anonymous
