socialism as a dirty word.
Hi Erik,
Heh. Try hanging out with the local socialists for a while.
I'm pretty sure you will find that the different factions
hate each other far more than they hate anyone else ...
or even than anyone hates them! SWP. YSA. Etc.
It's an eye-opener! ;-)
Erik also asked ...
>>Anyone have thoughts on the private highways [in Europe?]
Well, it ain't Euromopope, but it's been discussed in my backyard so
often I figgered it had already happened. Wikitypedia says 'not yet',
but the main road between me and the airomoport will prolly go private
eventually:

I don't really care. I think the hangup was on revenue collection
from folks that run the booth. 'Can a private road get a warrant
and impound their car?' kinda questions. Once those get ironed
out I think it will be a done deal.

Who is much more annoyed by the growing population of cameras at
intersections then any highway privatization efforts.
