There are many things that government should fund, but not control. That having been said, bounds need to be placed to ensure that tax payer money is being used responsibly. A good example is PBS. The government has a strategic need to maintain a public television and radio system. However when it's not being tactically (which is hopefully never), it should have limited control by government as long as it operates within loosely defined bounds. Education is much the same. We all have a interest in an educated population and, somehow, we need to make that affordable. In this way the government should fund public institutions and require them to comply with the law. Beyond that they should be free to operate as the market dictates. The law already covers torts so there's no need for additional laws. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Macromedia ColdFusion MX7 Upgrade to MX7 & experience time-saving features, more productivity. http://www.adobe.com/products/coldfusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/message.cfm/messageid:228971 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.5
