 Um... there *is* a fairly broad middle ground between laissez-faire, Upton-
Sinclair's-"The Jungle"-style-capitalism and Marxism. One can believe some
regulation is necessary without believing that everything should be regulated.

 Oh, I dunno about that - a difference of degree, at most, not kind. Look
up Ford's "Sociological Department" some time, or the "Dearborn Independent"
newspaper. Or the Pinkerton agency used by most of those 'robber barons' of
the day. :->
