The Free Market Fairy

Joe Gregorio:

I can use a hammer to drive a nail while building a house, or I can use it to cause bodily harm, in neither case is the morality of the action tied to the tool, and in a similar way the blind action of a free market is free of morality.
You know, a gun never killed nobody, You can ask anyone, People get shot by people, People with guns.

At least Zeldman thinks so. He suggests a land line phone, but I really wouldn’t like one of those. I’d be far more interested in a phone sans music player. Admittedly because I already own an iPod that I’m more than happy with, but also because 8 gb really doesn’t suffice for me, and I’d rather have two devices that solve their job greatly than one that doesn’t do each just as good.
