Re: Put Up or Shut Up If private ventures don't serve the customers needs they run out of money, and if truly private it has little effect on me if they rot and die. In the case of governments, screwups are ultimately borne by the citizenry. Promises of private backing in theory should protect the citizenry, but they don't because it's all too easy for local politicians to change the terms in order to offer up political cookies to the highest bidder, and if the backer goes bankrupt then all bets are off. -- Beagles really should come in convienent 10 packs. |
