< Cross capitalism with democracy and you get the U.S., but cross socialism with democracy and you get some of the European countries. > I remember a debate we had in high school back in 1975. The topic was 'socialized medicine'. Though I was against the idea back then it got me thinking. Let's be honest about our own society. We have socialized education, socialized police protection, socialized water and sewer systems, and socialized fire departments. We have socialized parks and recreation facilities, socialized hospitals, and socialized sports facilities. I thought it would be funny for Seinfeld or someone to do a bit on free enterprise fire departments. "So, my house is burning down and this guy's estimate to put it out just keeps getting higher and higher - Next time, I'm moving next door to a guy in the fire business". Jim
