### Sure, I gotcha, but you're wrong. Free enterprise depends on
property rights, which may be protected (a good and right word)
by governments, *or* *not*. (Think of the sign "Forget the dog:
BEWARE OF OWNER"). One local example, Bob: think of our country.
It was settled because of trade -- trade on the frontier. "Free
Enterprise" with *no* gummint except who's got the better powder
and the straighter barrels. Look around the globe...
