ROFL! You're priceless. -vbg- >>You're still not getting this. Their ain't no "our lines" anymore.<< Let's see if I've got this straight - private industry paid to build the lines but now that they are built, they don't belong to the people who built them? >>The inability of companies to come to terms with the above condition is why in my state the restructuring is starting with a privatization of transmission lines FIRST.<< Go right ahead - privatize the lines. Private industry will never build another one. The government can build new ones, and maintain them, too. 'Course, they won't be all bright and shiny anymore, they'll be like everything else the government does, grungy, amateur, and haphazard, but better that we all suffer equally than some make out like bandits.;^) >>And no doubt why the State of CA has considered and threatened to seize the transmission lines.<< No doubt.-g- Capitalism is sooooo inconvenient to central planners.
