Doug,

I am not bothered by your opinions, but I am a bit put off by your style of
argumentation.  For example, you wrote:


>"It's not likely that I'll change the minds of those who hold that private

>hope that a more nuanced view will prevail."

Now, this is a smear:  I don't think anybody in this thread has said
anything like "private enterprise for profit is an evil that must be
replaced."

In another post you said:

"Your strong negative reaction to the use of market forces in achieving
positive outcomes ...."

This is also a smear:  I don't think anyone has written against "the use of
market forces...," or indicated that they prefer negative outcomes.

It is good to have one's views challenged.  It is less good to have one's
views misrepresented.....
