Jim, I know where you stand here, but I said so before: Competition from a
place where people get shot if they (fill in anything here) is not fair in
my book. Since I was born and grew up in a country with a similar system I
know exactly what I am talking about, unlike most other visible members of
this list. No war of words will change my opinion.

Freedom of association in business: The freedom to join hands with anyone,
even if rubber gloves and desinfectant are required, to better develop
and control the market.

Price Policy: To sell for as much money as the market will bear.

Cartel: A type of association in business that is similar to a triad.

Monopoly: A type of association in business that is superior to a triad.

State Monopoly: A type of association in business one humbly bows to, in
recognition of its cunning and might, for lack of survivable choices.
