"Any system based on trade results in competition and exploitation."

That's pretty black and white eh Stray? I wasn't talking about 'compassionate' capitalism, I was talking about strictly enforcing certain issues like fair trade and pollution/non-renewability. Exploitation (based upon a scientific not a 'moral' model) isn't an issue in a fair trade environment. Ingenuity will find a renewable method for everything. Our problem is that we are not enforcing a cost/profit limit. The cost being the source and the production. Logging tropical hardwoods for instance, is 'scientifically' proven to be an ill-advised activity, the lungs of the world are too great a cost for our concrete shoring, which can be made from recycled fibreboard. Compassion is only common sense on this planet. There is not enough of it.
