| Message | Before I lay out a complicated economic argument against socialized education, healthcare etc., can you answer just ONE relatively simple question: What would happen if McDonalds had a MONOPOLY over the entire Fast Food industry in the country with absolutely NO COMPETITION by Burger King, Wendy's, Lincoln Fried Chicken (they're really good...haha), etc.???? |

| Message | This bill says absolutely nothing at all about a monopoly. Private universities are still 100% allowed to exist. Also- what if McDonald's was run by a race of extremely efficient and benevolent robots? |

| Message | (1) Ok, you got me on this one b/c I got out-smarted by my own logic(LOL); (2) Nevertheless, since you did ask the philosophical question about efficient robots, you must remember that robots are NOT as "efficient" as they appear to be because--remember--it was an INEFFICIENT human that invented them. Anything that a fallible person makes is suspect to malfuction or failure. As a perfect example, this computer that we are using at this very moment is very efficient.....that is UNTIL it catches a computer (robot) virus. |
