Hi Jason,

It's pretty clear that we are on opposite sides of a divide. There is a pantheon of economic thought flanking my perception that markets are something you think they are not, and that barriers to efficiency only sculpt the market's path like the water on its way to lower ground. You're talking about building dikes and canals, I'm talking about a force of nature - something mankind can only harness, not improve or tailor. If I've interpreted your reasoning properly, you might also be one of those misguided souls who think there is a spectrum of genders? Yes, there are obstacles to efficiency, but these are not failures of the market, in my humble opinion.

Cheers!

p.s. You can't out-polite a Canadian. ;)
