An editorial request from sysop User:Ed Poor
So....in a dictatorship, while it's arguable the lone dictator making decisions to pursue WMD may or may not serve the national interest, and it certainly is a baser motive at play, it is questionable to say this it is intended to curry favor with the electorate. While that may be true in democracies, we can't make a wholesale statment like this, or need to clarify what is being said. [[User:RobS|RobS]] 17:32, 9 July 2007 (EDT)

==Idealized construct==
Marshall, if you think the free market is only an idealized construct, please provide evidence of this.
On the other hand, if you don't ''know'' this to be true, but are only repeating the opinion of an economist (or maybe some political critic of [[Capitalism]]), be sure to credit the person whose views you are summarizing. A direct quote is even better. --[[User:Ed Poor|Ed Poor]] <sup>[[User talk:Ed Poor|Talk]]</sup> 09:29, 10 July 2007 (EDT)
