| Message | So, in order to stimulate something you just need to outsource it to corporate entities not under government oversight? So ignoring things makes them happen? Your logic is incouragable. If we wan't our childred to grow up healthy should we just subsidize their own development and let them to their own divices with some cash? |

| Message | Civil servants are no entrepreneurs. The state can regulate space exploration activities by determining the conditions and issuing permits. Private organizations will do the job more efficiently and effectively compared to state run companies. |

| Message | There is no objective evidence to support that claim. Private buisness have beurocracies just as the state does, and the nature of efficency is not altered by ownership, only the direction and intention of the enterprise is altered from public intrests to private ones when state agencies are privitised. In many cases, public corporations can be far more efficent than private ones because the lack of competition allows for greater consolidation and coordination. |

| Message | Surely there are bureaucrats in large comanies as well but there is a difference and that, as you put it yourself, is teh lack of competition. State owned businesses and the people who work there do not have the drive and need to earn a profit. Proof enough ! |
