I'm not adding to the probability, but comparing them. There is a much higher chance that you will die in a car accident than be killed by a terrorist. People drive, and therefore aren't afraid of the chances. How could they be so afraid of something that has an even smaller chance of occurring?

The morality of being killed by a terrorist will only be taken into consideration in the society that it took place, therefore different morals of people half way around the world are irrelevant.

Communism is an egalitarian ideal. It explains that everyone should be equal. How is paying someone more than another person being equal? One determinant of class can be income.

It is disingenuous to call our economy completely capitalist, but it is not disingenuous to call it a capitalist economy because it was developed around capitalism.

1) Free trade is taken much more seriously in our economy than in an economy that can be considered mercantile. It would take much more to impose a tariff on imports in a capitalist economy such as ours. A mercantile economy tries to discourages imports as much as possible, while imports are encouraged in our country. Controlling trade is just one aspect of a mercantile economy. Mercantilism also suggests that gold and sliver should not be exported, all land should be utilized, and any raw materials should be used for domestic manufacturing only. We obviously don't follow this ideology.

2) I added the word modern in there if you didn't notice.

3) Corporatism is an extreme case of lobbying. There has to be some kind of regulatory capture in order for a country to be considered corporatist.

4) Our economy is not heavily regulated. Compared to other industrialized country's, the United States has one of the least regulated economy's.

"Georgian collectivism only argues that citizens ought to have equal opportunity to said land and its resources."- Henry George, the man behind Georgism, said that land should be common property. This does not mean that people should have equal opportunity, but that they all should own it as a group. In an economy like this, land cannot be owned privately.

In fascism, most property was not owned publicly, but it was heavily controlled.

In market socialism, most institutions are publicly owned.

"there were numerous Gitmo detainees that were released by the Bush Regime without ANY official reason given."- how convenient, no records or evidence of anything that could contradict you.

"Guilty until proven innocent again eh?? I don't think so..."- why would the US transport people that they know aren't guilty? I doesn't make sense to say that we would transport people across an ocean even though there is no evidence that they are guilty.

"In general, where there is even a .0001 % chance of my losing my life, then that is a chance, I would not like to take."- people, probably you included, take those chances everyday. There is a small chance that you would die in a car accident if you chose to drive somewhere, but people take that chance everyday. That chance is even larger than the chance of dying from the actions of a terrorist. You should not be concerned about this affecting you.

"I'm less fearful of looking like a terrorist, than I am of what is going on in the mind of someone who might think that killing me is their gateway to heaven !"- people are not going to kill you because of some stereotype. Like I said before, there needs to be a large amount of evidence against you in order for them to even think about trying to kill you.

Those police officers probably had a reason to shoot the man. I highly doubt that they did it just for the way he looked.

"it bothers me that someone has the right to kill me because they think that it would benefit society"- legally they don't have a right. Morally, if the person is sane and reasonable, they have the right to do so.

Communism builds a classless society so nobody can have more than anyone else.

I guess I could have been clearer. Any modern country that has industries with private owners who are out to make a profit is practicing capitalism.

Mercantilism is different from capitalism because it allows the government to control trade. The US economy cannot be called mercantile.

Georgism says that everybody has an equal share in the land and that it can be taxes to reduce other taxes. This is obviously not the case in the US.

Fascism- there really isn't any set definition for fascism since different fascists countries have done different things in terms of its economy. You can't really say that the US is fascist.

Market Socialism doesn't have any private owners so I don't know why that is relevant. The US is definitely not socialist.

Corporatism has a lot of government intervention and involves a lot of collective bargaining in corporate organizations. This doesn't go on regularly in the US.

I think the chances of them being guilty are much higher than being not guilty. We wouldn't just detain them because we feel like it. They've probably done something to get transported to Gitmo.

The children are represented by their parents and the parents are represented by the government.

I think people should be forced to pay in only extreme cases. What if a poor woman gets raped?
