They may talk about goal but the reality is completely different. > Tell me the government entity that you think provides good service. It's easier to list government entities that do not provide good service, but even then, nothing springs to mind offhand, except perhaps ephemeral structures that exist for reasons other than the ones nominally given for them, such as the DHS. > And didn't I say that monopolies are not normally good?

You cannot have ten sets of wires providing electricity to your home, or three sets of pipes providing water. > That's why monopolies are generally bad. Including government > monopolies. But some monopolies cannot be avoided, and they should not be private. -- Transpose mxsmanic and gmail to reach me by e-mail.
