Amusing but silly of course. People long ago invented Limited Liability companies which are perfectly capable of building roads. So reinventing the wheel by people getting out of their cars to build them by hand, "chipping in" is too Stone Age for most of us. Limited Liability companies can run hospitals too. They would actually have to do a good job because they'd go broke if they killed and injured people as much as the government controlled services do. Companies can run education services too. They have to actually come up with results or they run out of customers. They couldn't just force children living nearby to attend. Mqurice

EC and Mq are actually seventeenth cousins, thrice removed from normalcy as it is defined by rabble such as you or i ... they are both frenchified celts, or celtified frenchmen, or something [really, check it out], and remind me of each other ... EC is entirely mining, yet uses telecommunication devices with abandon, Mq is all about the nasty little gizmos with the fancy abbreviated names that depend utterly for their function on EC's metals, and when you read the typing of either, you just shake your head and say geez, i don't know nothin vrb.v - oops, b.k. ... what went wrong there, did they get out-technologied or 'fail to execute', it all looked so good a year ago ... i see cmh.to still surviving, we've got a new tentative maybe-fave here, jer.v, and added a bit more of the Toby Chu production recently, eagerly awaiting financials there [no more buyback for weeks now, wonder how cash flow is going]
