@gortok they're both flawed, but arguing gov't is bad is naive; they are important check and balances. You want NO checks? NO balance?

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@gortok government is mandate of the people. Who speaks for the forests? the water? the common good? Both are flawed, but corps amoral.

@gortok if you trust Wal*Mart and Intel more than your elected government, There Is Something Wrong With You.

@gortok there's also never such a thing as a perfect market. Reality is a bit more greyscale.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@gortok basically with (essentially) infinite money and resources, mega-companies are unstoppable.

Jeff Atwood
@codinghorror
@gortok I think both government and mega-companies have risks. However, huge companies *cannot* be stopped by anything other than gov't.
