[thechat] politics

[Erik Mattheis]

How about socialized institutions? The geographic diversity of the group may 
make that really interesting.

I think this is wacked: European countries have privitized highways but here 
in the United "The mARKET cAN dO nO wRONG" States, privitization of highways 
is looked upon as a radical goofy idea - although global investment bankers 
are making headway towards tuning that over to the aristocracy.

Anybody have an opinion on private highways? Do the European ones offer 
advantages over publicly owned ones?
