Then you believe in capitalism.

I have never disagreed that I am a capitalist by your definition of the word. I have simply stated (repeatedly) that your definition is no where near universal, thus I shan't align myself with the word.

Tell me, what other economic system is compatible with freedom?

All other economic systems are compatible with freedom, so long as none of the adherents uses force to meet their ends. I am against monopolies and violence. Those are words that people understand.

All other economic systems?! Socialism is state ownership. Fascism is severe government regulation of private commerce. Mercantilism is government favoring and subsidizing select organizations. Communism is public ownership of all goods (until there's a disagreement about how to use them). Free exchange falls under capitalism.

Evolution is not "man from monkeys" no matter how many opponents of evolution see it that way. No matter, I think we can find a common ground on not bashing capitalism while not explicitly trumpeting it to the masses.
BTW, Ian is still a hippy.
