Any social and economic system based on making money with money becomes eventually a big gambling casino where everything is being betted for and where on the average only the big corporations and fortunate sons have better chances to make money with money. And these corporations and fortunate sons have better chances to make money with money since in the process of the Free Market many people become marginalized and disenfranchised.

Further, in the process of the Free Market, the chances to make money with money are being further and further skewed on behalf of the politicians as they become more and more representatives of the money making machinery rather than representatives of the people. Therefore, as the Free Market becomes an ever bigger gambling casino and more people become marginalized, so this gambling casino needs to be protected by our big corporations and our fortunate sons. If the process of the Free Market continues along with the related erosion of our democracies we are doomed to wage continuous wars as these wars are the logical consequences of the Free Market. And as these wars become intrinsic of the process of the Free Market along with the marginalization of more people, so our big corporations and fortunate sons have better chances to appoint politicians who will push new legislation for taking away the rights of people and enforce the Free Market so that it becomes a legalized coercive Free Market.

We must understand that the United States is a super power, economically and militarily, and that the Free Market has been preached by the leading Chicago School of Economics. Therefore, it is my contention that this trend of the Free Market to become a coercive gambling casino can be perceived by reflecting on the relationships of the following events in the United States:

• The perceived appointment of George W. Bush Jr. to the Presidency of the United States by the Supreme Court.
• The erosion of individual rights as per legislation against terrorism in the United States and other countries.
• The connection of the collapse of the Enron Corporation, the deregulation of the energy market in California, and the Bush Administration.
• The refusal to ratify the establishment of the International Criminal Court (ICC). On November 28, 2002, President Bush stated that he will retain his constitutional authority that "will enable me to take actions to protect U.S. nationals from the purported jurisdiction of the ICC treaty." We understand that these U.S. nationals could include former Secretary of State Henry Kissinger and Senator Bob Kerrey as these two prominent U.S. nationals have been accused of genocide by the Global Policy Forum.
• The astronomic expenses in the United States military.

We must learn to see our realities as patterns of historical relationships of events. We must stop to see the world as made up of isolated events. Our big corporations and fortunate sons contend that the horrific event of 9-11 changed the world in one day, but many common people contend that 2+2 is still equal to 4. And as usual, you reader must make up you own opinion and you can exercise your curiosity by visiting the referenced web sites.
