Humiliation?  Not at all, Drill Sergeant!  You equated freedom with
destruction, and I called you on it.  Scarcely a temper tamtrum.
Your paroxysm in comp.society.futures 69 comes much closer to
being a temper tantrum than my quiet little paragraph.

To get back to the subject that started all this, namely bureaucratic
involvement in computer networks, roads, etc., versus a freedom-
respecting method, the Foundation for Economic Education has an
excellent article pointing out that private roads were doing just fine
in facilitating transit until various governments began regulating
them out of profitability.  And, of course, the nice thing about
the market approach is that no one lost their homes or businesses
because of "eminent domain" (i.e., theft).
