    • It would. They would compete and the best solutions would be clear soon enough.raf

    • ...costs skyrocket. This is how soviet communism ended.raf
    • yep, the cartel/monopoly effectlukus_W
    • It's funny you propose the most free-market approach and–if I remember–call yourself a socialist ;)raf
    • socialism and free market co-exist.. socialism != communism..lukus_W
    • naw no good peopel are still underevolved and will resort to violence and denial of REAL rightsdeathboy

    • and yet that story is part of it all.deathboy
    • Why does socialist EU want to "harmonize" taxes, instead of letting every country work out best solution?raf
    • the US also needs a news media reform bill ;)lukus_W
    • Yes, they need to be centrally steered as well, blogs have too much freedom http://www.businessi…raf
