I also believe in a free market. What bothers me is the greed of a few, far in excess of that which is necessary for advancment of society, actually retards the advancement of society. I'm not saying government needs to regulate this, but it does give me cause for concern. Hopefully, societal disdain for this type of behavior will result in self regulation.
