Chris, 
								
	Curiously how do you feel about free competition tending to 
result in horizontal mergers, thus making competition tend towards
resulting in monopoly. Could you summarize your position, and/or provide a
reference to works that address this subject that you agree with?

	Also, does your understanding of imperialism include Lenin's idea
that imperialism is principally the dividing of markets and resources amongst
corporations? Specifically what forms of imperialism are you against?
Could you state your definition of imperialism for the list briefly? 

Thanks, 

Kevin
Cols, Oh
