I really don’t know what you are saying. You seem to like the video where some attention whore is indeed telling us we need to be allowed to make whatever choices we like irrespective of the societal consequences.
Today when I hear the phrase free market it is typically a buzz word for no regulation. Many would have us believe that the “market” will self regulate so we don’t need all those onerous gubmint regulations.

While none of us much like regulations I believe that without them the USA would be a polluted mess, like China, we would have even larger banks that would eventually cripple our economy and would have massive collusion by oil companies that resulted in $10.00 a gallon gas.

Yeah, I think capitalism is by far the best economic system yet devised, but if let the free market self regulate will all suffer enormously.

You seem like a decent type who might pay a bit more for detergent that is “green” but there are many more who will buy the cheapest irrespective of the damage to the environment. And many companies will gladly make and sell truly terrible products if left to only the restraints of the free market. If we rely solely on the good will of man we are well and truly screwed.
