The Mainstream Press’s Fear of Investigating the JFK Assassination

What’s so awesome about the capitalist ideal?  It’s a system based on individual freedom and voluntary consent.  You’re allowed to do what you want with your own body and your own stuff.  If other people want to cooperate with you, they have to persuade you; if you want other people to cooperate with you, you have to persuade them.  Can consent really be “voluntary” if some people have a lot more to offer than others?  Absolutely.  Some people are vastly more attractive than others, but that does nothing to undermine the voluntariness of dating.  Under capitalism, how people use their freedom is up to them; they can try to get rich, they can relax, they can help the poor, all three, or none of the above.
