Barry, 

  A quick comment on your second response to me.  You concentrate on
the things that would be better without government intervention, but
completely ignores the things that would be worse.

  Yes, some of the difficulties I point out would be eliminated under
more complete private ownership.  But what about new problems?  What
would be the lifestyle of the people who owned least?  Would they
become a "servant class," like many Mexican-Americans in California?
How would you be sure that they would not starve?  Where is there a
check on the "free market" that limits the amount of human suffering?
The answer is that there isn't.

Rich
