Oh boy!  Fun and excitement!

So what do you have against capitalism?  It is the basic economic system
that allows you the lifestyle you have. (Although as a student it may not
be much.)  It ultimately is responsible for the University you go to.  When
you escape into the real world you will be selling your time to someone
else.  (If you don't admit it, would that make you a "closet capitalist?)
It is the only system of economics that has been shown to work for any
lengthy period in a society of any size.  What would you replace it with?
