  So what has that got to do with denouncing my suggestions for a 
Network infrastrucucture following the model of the Internet/NREN, as 
a socialist scheme?  Frankly, I don't give a damn about your desire to 
"harness market economics" when the profit motive has demonstrably 
produced the most grotesque ttack on human sensory faculties in the 
history of the world. Nothing about that history supports Jeffersonian 
liberalism.  What is important is the utilization of the Net governed 
by values that rise above the primative dynamics of the "morality of 
the marketplace."
