Excuse me for butting in, but is it certain that no one has accused Mr. Crum of slander here? Many people on CC confuse slander with libel, and few people make an issue out of it, because everyone knows the intent, including yourself.

Also, just because "a careless mind can conjure harm being done by any commercial transaction," it doesn't follow that "No one gives a fig about the notion of compassionate capitalism." Why? because a "careless mind" probably results in no defined outcome, whether philosophical or material.

You seem to torment yourself with the divergence of human desire from rationality. I think you are wasting your time there.
