[QUOTE="wkmac, post: 270318, member: 2189"] I was searching the Drudge archives for earlier this week on articles about the book by Scott McClellan that exposed more goings on in the Bush WH concerning the Plame event. I ran across a headline that struck me funny but it does have an economic connection in a humorous kind of way so here goes a funny with a serious underpoint to it. Call Congress into Session! Have the President issue an Emergency Special Order! Have the Federal Reserve take up the matter! Where is the Interstate Commerce Commission or the FCC? We need immediate action now! OK, for what you ask? Here it is. [URL]http://www.portfolio.com/culture-lifestyle/culture-inc/arts/2007/10/15/YouPorn-Vivid-Entertainment-Profile/?print=true[/URL] :happy-very: OK, it's meant to be funny but here's where it becomes a serious issue. Instead of impacting a few million people, what if this situation impacted 50 to 75 million? Would we hear hues and cries from Capital Hill and the White House then? Sure we laugh and I wouldn't cry a drop if this industry disappeared altogether but put another industry in it's place or add people or better yet add better connected people and then what happens? We all would scream bloody murder if the gov't stepped in to save this industry but the scary part is the precedence to do so has been set many times over by the federal gov't. The only difference in this case is not having enough voices to either make a majority or to create an effective special interest that keeps that very thing from happening. Is that in itself a marked ideal and principle expressed from a free market Laissez-faire economic system? [/QUOTE]
