Hi Jim,

Re: But to hear Duray defend tired socialist dogma as anything other than a repudiation of human spirit and progress would indeed be interesting.

Say what? You better re-read what you wrote. I don't believe it is what you meant to say. (Perhaps your rhethoric got the better of your logic??) Because I surely would defend public ownership of certain common aspects of our well-being to be better administered by public rather that by profit-seeking organizations.

I'm defending public ownership of certain means of production as the most efficacious means of creating an opportunity for capitalism to flourish. It's clear that certain aspects of civilization are simply too important to be in the hands of the robber baron sort of market dealmaker. For instance, public health, sewerage, water supplies, highways and other public rights-of-way, and, I would submit to you in our post-industrial society, electrical power which ought not to be held hostage by a bunch of shady traders and scoundrels. Like the sorts who infest the executive offices at El Paso Gas or Enron, for instance.

Thanks for noticing my oblique reference to your earlier post. But, I assure you, no response was hoped for. I have your script committed to memory already.

Salaams, Ray
