Capitalism is based on the ridiculous notion that you can enjoy limitless growth in a closed, finite system.

In biology, such behavior of cells is called "cancer".

I was grumbling that this wasn't discussed during any of the presidential debates or primary debates. Important topic. One reason I would not have voted for Chris Christie either.

Because he's "big"?

Okay, jokes aside:

"The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized."
