All rules(laws) favor the rich, or the rich change them.

I agree (generally), and this, in-and-of-itself is not "bad" (natural law).

I only take issue with the hypocrisy of saying "high-quality-original-content" is rewarded, when, in reality, the "community leaders" are posting piles of remixed content they've "borrowed" from other sources (and piling votes into the open mouths of their 50 or so best-pals automatically, with no regard for "quality").

At what point does your appeal to Edward Bellamy (and Looking Backwards) become meaningless if you're just going to throw your hands in the air and submit to "natural law" anyway?
