The Gambinos and the Genoveses would have it no other way, Tsing. Everyone is on the take in some form or another.
I'm sorry IMHO that is just wrong because they do not know why you are strongly agreeing or weak agreeing. If I knew the testers bias or intent in the question I could answer correctly otherwise it's a crapshoot.
True, but all survey have to have a binary ranking scale. That is why those positive and negative numbers come up on our scores, they rank our answers. Could bias slip in? Of course.
Another thought on Darwinsim. The natural world chose Darwinsim as the most efficient vehicle to realize its fullest potential. Considering that, it follows that our economic system which is a function of natural human interaction is optimized if it follows the rules of the natural world. Governments interfere with human interaction out of greed, corruption, self interest. This interference retards human progress. Get rid of government and only then will the human race will begin to realize its fullest potential. At some point labor will be free, but as long as humans put a price on their labor than economic freedom without government intervention is the best way to go.
