Pippy...it's not about who is more corrupt, it's about the gov't having control of things it shouldn't..

once you give control to the gov't, there is no long a way for the market to control it...

take public transportation.. it's gov't funded here, and it's terrible. it will never change because no matter how much money it loses or how bad the service is, the gov't will keep it running. a free market would have resulted in a good transportation system, or it going out of business.

i just don't want to see gov't control of anything other than what's absolutely necissary... what happens when the gov't does become (more)corrupt? how screwed are we then?

  - It's a system wide issue - how do you tell companies - okay give everyone a break - so you don't make umpteen million, you make umpteen million - Pippy Nov 5, 13:41
well, I think criticizing the public transit system is a poor choice of targets. -- nm - znufrii Nov 5, 13:26 2

  - well, I haven't been there, but from everything I've heard it sucks donkey balls. Doesn't mean it's the government's fault though. -- nm - znufrii -- least fighty poster Nov 5, 13:34
