Thanks for laying it out in that post.

>>>Getting real competition (i.e. not a situation where market participants yield market power to gouge) is not any easy task. I still think there are some valid arguments that the business remains a "natural monopoly" and that competition cannot allocate resources properly -- i.e. with the lowest overall cost / best overall benefit to society.<<<

I'm about to get in right behind you on this...especially after reviewing the level of understanding regarding very complicated issues as expressed here. It will never work right if for no other reason than stupidity...and the fact that "the lowest cost / best overall benefit to society" isn't even a consideration or concern.
