<p>[quote user="selector"]</p> <p><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_political_ideologies">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_political_ideologies</a></p> <p>Perhaps I should have refined my terms to the one above. Why can't we say that attempts to heavily regulate, privatize, or nationalize transport have met with X, Y, and Z between 1910 and the present? When we include the ideological terms such as liberalism, libertarianism, capitalism, and socialism, the discussion becomes political...ergo ideological. Leave the associations, ascriptions, and supporting entities and ideologies out of the discussion.</p> <p>If you could <em>stay away from the labels</em> and just deal with the 'mechanics' involved in the various 'trials', as I suggested above, the discussion passes the 'no politics' rule. It's really very simple. </p> <p>Crandell </p> <div style="clear:both;"></div> <p>[/quote]</p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva;"><span style="font-size: small;">Crandell,</span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA;"><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva;"><span style="font-size: small;">It is very simple, as you say, to refrain from using ideological labels.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>But when you say, “Leave the associations, ascriptions, and supporting entities and ideologies out of the discussion,” what do you mean by “associations, ascriptions, and supporting entities”?</span></span></span></p>
