Did you know dog meat is served in restaurants in South Korea? I didn't. In the United States and most western countries, Fido is a family companion and while it's not ethical to judge another culture by our standards, anyone who doesn't at least (humanely) butcher the animal first is acting without proper care. South Korea relies on western consumerism for their economy and needs to be aware that we do not accept the practice of skinning and boiling dogs alive. Originally shared by April Benney Over 6,000 restaurants in South Korea are still serving dog meat even though it is now illegal. In many Asian countries dogs are boiled alive or skinned alive when slaughtered. It's an unbelievably horrendous & torturous way to die. I know a lot of you hate seeing this kind of posts on G+, but the Asian industry slaughtering dogs & cats is how I first got involved in animal rights & it will always be my main animal welfare concern. It's intolerable what is happen...

I wonder if US travellers have been exposed to the boiling frog for a long time, and most travellers don't leave the US so they don't know that things could be like.
Pretty much the exact opposite of a free market, which isn't unrestrained. And completely unrelated to unrestrained capitalism.
Of course, I am using more or less traditional definitions. You definition would require me making up new words for everything else in economics.
A free market, to remain free, must be protected to prevent that, enabling the individual to own and grow his own capital (means of production).
But capitalism itself has no will, it's just an increasingly (and frustratingly) complex set of various economic models.
As a knifemaker I am an artist and a capitalist. I control and grow my own means of production and sell goods.
What you are saying is that I MUST seek to give the crappies product with the maximum profit.
I disagree.

We will disagree. I get that. All free market economics is evil for you. Fortunately for me as a self employed artist, you guys haven't enslaved me to the people's farm combine yet.
