Maytag Takeover

So, Whirlpool will be buying Maytag for $1.68 billion. I have two views on this: 1) On one hand I fervently believe in the freedom to buy what you want when you want it as long as your not damaging someone. 2) On the other hand, two of the biggest names in home appliances becoming one can't be good for competition in the market-place or for prices, so maybe this is harming people?

I'm not really sure what to think on issues like this because each side seems to have points that I heartedly agree with.
