But not a case that is different or better in any way than the case that production and preparation of food, or the construction of shelter should be non profit endeavors. The assertion falls apart under even the most cursory scrutiny.
However, if you desire free stuff enough you can always hang on to notions like that, trying to justify them in the face of withering logic...and eventually you become Giggleton.
