You could say the same thing about real estate or pretty much any other freely traded resource in the world, and yet the sky isn't falling.

Otherwise, there's plenty of laws governing cartels, monopolies, price fixing, anti-competitive practises, and so forth. -- Tore Anderson Redpill Linpro AS - http://www.redpill-linpro.com/
