Yogisays...

I have nothing to say about unscientific studies that don't take into account millions of other criteria and only look at what they want to look at. This is like the Black Book of Communism...you can make the same book about Capitalism and it's brutal mass killings...I'm sure you could make a good case about how Capitalism can significant harm societies.

Come back to me with a study that's taken decades...then we can have a debate. Of course it will end with my citing all the times Capitalism has effected other countries and made them worse.
