Anybody who thinks that making a profit is a negative doesn't understand the nature of our economy - and/or is deluded into thinking there is a better economic system that actually works in the real world.

Capitalism can be both good and bad. Depends on what and how you use profit. Right now it is in a generally bad mode. It is used to satisfy the greedy. I do not believe anything a company says, announces or advertises. It is best to observe and be extremely cautious in where money is spent, invested or saved no matter what your economic status is. Fully trusting any business as they operate in today's economy is fool hardy at best. We'll wait and see how the sale of Savage arms plays out with Vista.
