The only thing competition kills is inefficiency.[/quote] You seem to have misunderstood my post. Competition the driving factor of the capitalist free market is a great thing. I believe that the government forcing the break up of a railroad that has worked it's way up to the top is a bad thing since; no monopoly laws have been violated. I think the way the founders of our country did: That the government should keep its nose out of as much as possible. I don't argue with a lot of the trust busting done by good old Teddy Roosevelt this kept the free market from working as the company could force their competitors out of business by not doing business with them unless they charged a certain price. If the railroads have done this please let me know. How do railroads violate anti-trust laws? James[C):-)] PS here is a link to the site with a full copy of the bill. Sorry it is 23 pages, because the congress can't make anything simple.http://www.house.gov/transportation_democrats/rrcomp05_001_xml.pdf
