		<description>Exactly right!  If we play the game within the conservative frame, we will likely lose.  Time to attack the very premises of conservative economic thought: 

1) That there is such a thing as a &quot;free market&quot;.

2) That this &quot;free market&quot; always yields the best possible outcome when allowed to function free of government interference.

This debate must be put into terms that the average person can understand.  (e.g. the E. Coli conservatives think the safety of our food should be left up to big corporations driven by the profit motive, I disagree.)</description>

		<description>&lt;i&gt; instead of forcing that institution to defend its existence&lt;/i&gt;

Out of the ballpark!

 Isn&#039;t it odd that us peons who actually pay for it just don&#039;t seem to &quot;get it&quot;?. For some reason I&#039;m  getting the sense of  &quot;Oliver Twist&quot;. 
&quot;Thank you sir, may I have another one?&quot;</description>
