The original point concerned the pope and his dim view of unfettered capitalism as it relates to the poor (prof's words). The key adjective is unfettered. Corrupted, if you will, no rules...sweatshops, indentured/slave labor, price gouging, clear cutting, toxic waste. Your defense of capitalism - on the whole, no adjective - is noted, unneeded, and naturally irrelevant. The kind of idiocy that is all too common in your circle these days, unfortunately.
