Regarding capitalism:
When I was a Cub Scout we were taught that fire is a good servant but a bad master. It can cook your food and keep you warm or it can burn your house down and kill you. I would describe Capitalism in exactly the same way - a good servant but a bad master . Capitalism can be a powerful force for good that can fulfill our needs in many ways. But; we always have to vigilant and keep Capitalism in its place. It should always be made to work for us and never the other way around. It is easy to fall into the Wall Street trap where we end up on our knees serving the needs of Capitalism.Just like fire, if you get careless and turn your back on it, you can end up getting burned. I am an ardent supporter of Capitalism, but Capitalism should never be allowed to run the show.
