[Bruce Paine]

hendrik,

While I believe that society should allow the people that inhabit it the freedom to exchange ideas with few constraints, since education, publication, food, and events cost something to produce then it's only fair, I feel, for the producers to charge something for it.

Show me a practical example of any individual, community, or society, that receives nothing in exchange for it's output, outside of a vacuum.

I feel that for all to prosper, a fair exchange of goods and services must be made.

What do you think or feel about that?

Thank you, very much.

Bruce Paine
