When we peruse the television lisitings for the commercial stations we
can see what a free market offers us.  The listings are dependent
soley on what the general television audiences demand, irregardless of
the quality are accuracy of the programs.    Those free market
idealists who think that the market will provide  everything we need
are thus proved wrong.  We need quality, and we need accuracy.  We
need information to be provided which is independent of commercial
interests.  This also applies to protecting our environment.

The market provides a means for producing only what is bought and
sold.  Things like educational television, or environmental integrity,
are not commodities that can are should be bought and sold and,
therefore, should not be dependent on the free market system.

Free market idealists are just as dangerous and extreme as communists.
