Ever paid less for an oil-based product even though you knew it was going to help the bottom line of a company doing bad things...just because it would save you a buck in the short term?

LOL ivan, that was an apparently successful campaign by the Stranger mag (or Dan Savage) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Santorum_%28sexual_neologism%29

Have yall seen this? I got a chuckle out of it. Sarah Palin PAC ad "Together" @ Yahoo! Video

Well failures in the private sector are not a good way to judge if it is working or not. I think they are a way to gauge a particular business *is* working or not. There are plenty of examples of successful private enterprises. If you aren't profitable, you die. End of story. Survival of the fittest. The liberal argument would be that such a "dog eat dog" world isn't very humanistic. It is profits before people. But then neither has the evolutionary process that got us to this point either (if you believe in that sort of thing).

http://www.infrastructurereportcard.org/ Well one thing is clear is that the US is full of people who want it all, but they don't want to pay for it. This is outside of any discussion of social services such as heath care. This is bridges, roads, and shit like that. I suppose the conservative solution is to privatize all this stuff. Private roads, private bridges. Toll booths everywhere. I think there are great examples of building a great national resource/infrastructure in the private sector and have it happen in a fantastically efficient way. The Internet is such an example. But the Internet really hasn't been run in a true "private" way. However, it looks like it soon may: http://money.cnn.com/2010/11/03/technology/net_neutrality_election/index.htm?section=money_latest Having our country become a mesh of toll booths and private enclaves doesn't sound that good to me.

Prediction: we'll see him again for the next governors race.
