Re: "We suck less!" said by batterup:It is called capitalism, the alternative is call communism. Capitalism with as little government control as possible has proven to work far better then communism. Yep. Deregulation worked just fine for Enron, MCI, Adelphia, Tyco International, HealthSouth, Arthur Anderson, et. al.
Yes, Capitalism is better overall, but unrestrained capitalism has a nasty habit of chewing people up and spitting them out in small pieces.

Yes, no matter how badly the break up has worked out, at least we can Thank God for MCI.... who knows how far back we'd be if the Bell system was never broken up. I do agree though that we're going to have to bring back some regulation to the system now that AT&T is quickly rebuilding the monopoly... especially as they are extending it into wireless and internet as well.

If you regulate the business you must guarantee a profit, if not it will not be built. There is no free lunch. As for wireless I have a choice of T-Mobile, at&t, Verizon and others. What are you talking about? |
