Its my current view that we all have desires that stem from greed; the desire to offer our services for as high a price as possible AND to desire other&#39;s services for as low a prices as possible. We can&#39;t wish these results, but must participate in the market to get as close to these desires as willing.<br>

<br>Coercion is the use of force (noun) to force (verb) you to participate in a market you are unwilling to participate freely, either through paying higher prices that you would normally, or through receiving a lower price for our own service.<br>

<br>The former requires mutual benefit for a transaction to take place. The latter does not, in fact, it rarely benefits more than one party involved.<br><br>Eric<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Mon, Aug 30, 2010 at 10:56 AM,  <span dir="ltr">&lt;<a href="mailto:joe@actionline.com">joe@actionline.com</a>&gt;</span> wrote:<br>

<br>
Not sure I understand that question correctly.<br>
But I don&#39;t think there is a difference.<br>
Would it not be true that the ability to coerce is driven<br>
and enabled by all the lobbiests who lobby as agents for<br>
the greedy?<br>
