You're following the same train of thought that caused de-regulation of the telephone and power industries. If you live in a de-regulated state, then you should know firsthand that de-regulation only brings higher prices.

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.

There's a huge difference between wanting free stuff, and the reasonably- priced stuff that a free market promises but doesn't provide.
Besides, logic only has to be consistent within itself. There's no requirement for it to actually work in real-world settings. All that matters is whether or not you can have (A & -A).
