“One of the great things about a free market is that it's inherently and indefatigably Darwinistic. Left to its own devices, a free market will eventually weed out the stupid from both 'ends' of the food chain otherwise described as supply and demand. As money is liberated from the hands of the stupid, those who would sell products or services to the stupid will eventually lose their share of the marketplace. Devoid of any 'benevolent' interference from government, the process is gloriously relentless, and cannot help but yield a successively smarter class of participants.” EndsHelpingHandsGovernmentLeftProcessLosesClassShareStupidProductsDemandSellsGreat ThingsChainsDevicesYieldWeedSmarterFree MarketMarketplaceRelentlessLiberatedInterferenceParticipantsBenevolentFood ChainSupply And Demand Author:Edward Britton

Do everything you can to see that your money stays as long as possible in the local community.” IfsNeedsLongCan DoCommunityProductsEnvironmentalStoresNeighborLocalsChainsSustainabilityLocal Community Book:Sex, Economy, Freedom & Community: Eight Essays Source: Sex, Economy, Freedom & Community: Eight Essays
“What it requires is that first of all you identify the hazards: Where in your production chain can contamination occur?

“You certainly can't be a perfect person, coming up with the 100% correct solution, all the time. It's just a combination of a chain of good decisions that comes up with a successful product or a successful film. That's what you hope for.
