Cohousing-L Mailing List: Re: Market System

[Mac Thomson (mac]

Dear Scott, his friend, and Peter,

Yours was a response that I thought I might get based on the general liberal
bias that I've percieved in the cohousing movement.  One of the reasons that
I posted the message was simply to show that there's political / economic
diversity in this cohousing movement, just as there is all sorts of other
types of diversity.  My background has been in businesses which were
thoroughly ethical, treated their employees very fairly, produced high
quality products, respected the environment, and made good profits (no
apology).

It seems that you and I differ radically in our opinions about just how
broken the market system is.  I don't think that this discussion group is the
appropriate place to debate political economic beliefs other than those more
directly involved in cohousing.  I respect your difference of opinion and
would ask that you had a greater tolerance of mine.
