Just a few questions, am I not held hostage because the NFL lockout, when some tax dollars went to build their stadiums? Am I not held hostage at higher gas prices because of speculators, when the oil companies get government substities, or the food industry as well (farming)?

As for the NFL. Dont buy their product. Dont watch them on TV, dont buy the ridiculously priced tickets. Don pay $10.00 for the beers. That takes care of that problem. No spectators= No team= no need for a stadium.

Speculators are all part of the private enterprise system. I know nothing of subsidies to oil companies, so I honestly cant comment on that.

Farm subsidies, I somewhat agree. Perhaps that should be eliminated as well. However most big agriculture now is of the corporate nature. Small family owned farms simply cannot keep the doors open any more. I dont know if giant food corporations get these same subsidies or not. If they do, I agree completely.

Multitudes of other wrongs dont make other as rights.
