: It really amuses me when americans -- the supposed champions of
: capitalism -- think that the way to get low prices is regulations,
: price setting, allowable profit rates etc.

: Geez guys.  Deregulate the industry.  Let companies compete in each
: other's territory.  Let the profit levels be set by whoever manages to
: drive their costs down the most for a given service, not by whoever
: manages to convince some regulator that higher costs deserve higher
: profits.

Please don't confuse "americans" with the U.S. Government.  The U.S. 
Government is only interested in regulations and control, not in open
competition and supply/demand economics. 80)

Just my $.02,
Chris
