hmm... the choking out of capitalism is certainly a concern worthy of attention.
but take heart in the fact that our country has crossed this bridge many times before. the first instance was the railroad companies who bought out politicians and monopolized a vital industry in the 1800's. Next you have the monolithic steel/textile/oil companies of the early industrial revolution.
each of these events were accompanied by a radical shift in the overall state of US industry and communication.
now we've got a situation that draws a few important comparisons with the flourishing of the technology sector. hopefully patience, business integrity and only a minimal amount of legislation will carry us through this current corporate environment.
