6. Yes

I don't usually like Fiore - tends to be a bit heavy-handed for my taste - but that suits the ALEC issue well!

3. The ideas expressed in Federalist 10 are obsolete.

The old concept of private interests balancing out each other has been superseded as something unexpected happened: those who were thought to be natural competitors have joined together to create a situation that benefits all of them. A century ago, they were called "Trusts." Today, they're called ALEC.
