Thanks for the wonderful quotes. If I only knew the Bible, I'd give you some of those and we could argue by quote-hurling.

Concerning classelessness as unregimented, wow. There is nothing less diverse than unbroken sameness. We can all wear our cute litle Mao outfits. I now understand that you believe egalitarianism is more important than freedom.

My perception is that there are more, not less small companies than major corporations. But I guess that depends awfully on how one defines 'small' and how one censuses. Where is the largest aggregate profit? I don't know. I'd be interested in seeing a histogram of profit distribution in which company size would be the bins and dollars would be the abscissa. I haven't ever seen anything like that, but I'm sure its out there. I don't pay a lot of atention to business stats. Botanist.

I see us a less, not more regimented than at any time in our history. With the demise of the 'melting pot' and nearly open borders, the normative influence of the majority population is waning. I think we're on a trajectory of Balkanization, the blue/red map is an early indication.

How can free enterprise exist in either a regimented or classless society?

For that matter, how can freedom exist in either a regimented or classless society?
