Think of it as 'Socialism 2.0' - rather like the Chicoms are trying. We'll meet in the middle.

I do admit that the US government is far more cumbersome, less agile than a private company, but it is also far more cumbersome, less agile than a totalitarian state. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- You would think so, but almost every totalitarian state out there has been an exercise in backwardness. I think that's because there have been few (any?) capitalist totalitarian societies. In that respect, Cina is an interesting experiment... and one that seems pretty successful so far. Government has once again become the solution rather than the problem. Oh well, guess we'll give socialism another shot. Why not!
