I would like to thank Ted Goertzel for pointing out a mistake in the following statement: I meant to say that "...very little of value remains in PUBLIC hands..." Talking with friends and reading the newspapers, I got the impression that there is very little that remains to be privatized, that very little of value remains in private hands; even highways and freeways have been privatized to a large extent and, at the time I left (end of June) the privatization of the Post Office and the airports were being considered.
