I have to agree with this; however we probably don't agree upon how much is too much. Ever since having read Sinclair's The Jungle in high school, I definitely am in favor of regulating the processed meat industry though.
I guess most of my opinions re: free market come from Kearl's Econ 110 class, where we learned about how great that invisible hand thingie is. Speaking of which, I don't know which is more frightening--the idea of some disembodied, invisible hand controlling our markets and dictating significant portions of our lives, or the fear of getting called on in Kearl's class. He seemed to enjoy disembowling people in front of 700 of their peers.
