In my original comment, I was not saying that any freedom in any transaction is evil or will necessarily lead to evil. I was saying, by facetious implication, that ordinarily no one expects any collective or communal human enterprise of any comple...

I enjoyed this reply to a critical comment that could have been read as less-than-diplomatic. The exchange ended up adding to my understanding of foreign policy and history.
