On unions vs. monopolies.

/***** ea:net.politics / uiucdcs!renner / 10:08 pm  Apr  9, 1984 */
	Corporate monopolies are organizations constituted of participants
	in the free market acting in their own enlightened self-interest
	to increase their value in that market.

Scott, you're being unfair to corporate monopolies. Corporations haven't:

	1) Passed laws forcing you to buy from them, and only them.
	2) Made it illegal to build your own.
	3) Made it illegal to do by hand what their tools make easier.

Organizing to increase your market value isn't a bad thing. Passing laws that
*require* others to pay what you consider your market value to be is a bad
thing.
