laugh...just a question.....to make you think.... is a failed strategy...less monopolistic...since it did not work....??...does a monopoly have a time limit....on how long it can do something...before it is considered monopolistic...? Fine lines...we are talking here....when is a monopoly a monopoly?... What is normal business standards...in dealing...and what is predatory.....? Understand.....that government...is an invention.... is a monopoly good.....or is a monopoly bad...? Should we have both beta and vhs tapes.....or settle on one standard...? Should manufacturers sell their wares....direct...via the Internet...or hold off.....so as to not compete with their own customers....the retailers...?? Just live with it a lot....that's all.....and find it amusing...how it is applied.....and how lightly it is understood.....or misunderstood.... to answer your question...do I like monopolies...? Yes...with ketchup! smile.....mary
