So, you are suggesting that the regularory agencies should be privatized? The EPA would be a for profit organization, as would the FCC, the FAA, the courts and the police and fire departments? If you don't like the verdict in K-Court, you then go to Wal-Court? Fire Departments -R- Us buys too few fire engines, you contract with The Water Boys? I said you need to explain how this will work, not give pithy responses that mean nothing. How does it WORK? How do you achieve any accountability? If there are laws, you have to have people enforcing them who are independant. Say I choose to contract for my police services with Blue Beat Enterprises and it ends up that the person who is having the wild party that is disturbing the peace is a "better" customer, owns 3 houses and 2 very large businesses in the same "jurisdiction". What keeps Blue Beat from making a bottom line calculation and choosing to ignore the violation so that it's shareholders can maximize returns on their investment? What will keep that from happening? Explain how it will be better for me to introduce those kind of calculations into the justice system? Or into the business of protecting the enviroment? Or the business of Airline regulation and safety. Explain it, don't dodge it.

Tell me, could that be you?
