I don't know if this is correct under our present laws. Or
not. :)

It could be construed as simply a means by which
price-fixing can be conducted. (Which it is, actually.)

It's interesting to me, however, to see that when the
*practicalities* of it come forth, when it's examined from a
practical standpoint, almost no one actually seems to really
favor a free market.

I personally certainly don't favor free markets where the
necessaries of life (food, utilities, etc.) are concerned.
But I know this: I know I don't favor them. I don't claim
to favor them, but hedge it about with lots of exceptions
and buts, and ifs, and so on.

It seems to me that most of the free market advocates really
don't favor free markets at all. They just think they do.
