I am awakened in the morning by my alarm clock at the appropriate time as regulated by the US congress and kept accurate by the national institute of standards and technology and the US naval observatory, a clock powered with the electricity generated by the public power monopoly regulated by the US department of energy. I groggily rise out of bed and stumble into the shower to bathe myself in clean water provided by the municipal water utility using soap approved by the department of consumer affairs. As I dry myself I flip on the TV to one of the FCC regulated channels to see what the national weather service of the national oceanographic and atmospheric administration determined the weather was going to be like using satellites designed, built, and launched by the national aeronautics and space administration. I then proceed to eat my breakfast composed mostly of derivatives of subsidized corn, inspected by the US department of agriculture inspected food and take my allergy drugs, both of which have been determined as safe by the food and drug administration.

Thanks to the Cash for Clunkers program I then get into my national highway traffic safety administration approved automobile, having been licensed to do so by the state, and set out to my public school on the roads built by the local, state, and federal departments of transportation, possibly stopping to purchase additional fuel of a quality level determined by the environmental protection agency, using legal tender issued by the federal reserve bank. Using the GPS system designed by the navy and maintained by the department of defense I check that I am, in fact, on the correct course. On the back from public school I deposit any mail I have to be sent out via the US postal service.

1. China is a dictatorship, trade with the developed democratic world is a lifeline to millions of people there and the path to economic and political liberalization, if they weren't being paid $0.20 an hour to stitch tennis shoes they'd be paid $0.10 an hour to pick rice, if they weren't trading with the west we'd never hear about how oppressed and downtrodden they are.
2. With state interventionism BP only received some small fines as punishment, without state interventionism BP executives would have been treated like common criminals and received mandatory death penalties, I think it's pretty obvious socialism doesn't work.
3. When native americans use every part of the buffalo it's "multiculturally social enviro-green tolerant diverse" but when evil corporations use every part of a cow it's "SHITTIEST QUALITY MEAT".
4. And I suppose under your perfect system mistakes would never happen, Toyota lost 100s of millions in lost sales and investor confidence, the error was their crime and also their punishment thanks to market forces.
5. They removed it due to security concerns, Sony has done an enormous amount of work to ensure that the system runs properly and does what people have paid them to make sure it does. Most people don't give a shit about linux and just want to play games, it's a fucking games console not a PC.
6. Property law = capitalism, lawsuits against being sold faulty products =capitalism
