Because I cited one or two example, out of thousands, to make my points more succinctly, do not assume those thousands of other historical examples don't exist. Our entire history right up until present day is one of bloody conquest. We have not suddenly evolved to not favor war and destruction just because the majority of the populace are not conquerors, but rather the conquered. Twas ever thus, wolves and sheep each to their respective roles.
As for whether business has evolved to treat employees fairly without an organized labor party? Considering we just witnessed a brutal ongoing battle involving our own government on whether or not our citizens actually deserve reasonable health care, I believe I'll have to differ with you. We are not altruistic in a democratic free market society; we are greedy. And will remain so unless the necessary counterbalances remain in place. Again, because I picked one example of thousands, don't assume the others aren't there.
I promise, Donovan, I don't make assumptions about what's not there when responding to a poster. I focus on what IS there when I'm responding to or citing a post.
Likewise, it might not be safe to assume that I'm wholly unaware of the fact that other examples exist just because I didn't explicitly say so. If you wanna discuss them and use the same argument as to why they too support your position, let's get it on.
