Bill,

I do not understand your bete noir of overproduction.  If th
is arises from Chomsky, would you direct me to the text?

Here is my quandry. If a thirsty man finds a plentiful supply
of water, he may drink more than he needs, but that is for
him to judge.  I will take that over a limited supply of equally
tasty water any day.  I can deal with distributing the excess,
and, one could assert,  without the social system, the
product would not be avilable at all. Overproduction sounds
like a "spin" word fabricated to support a political agenda
item.
