[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by M.W. Hemphill What's to debate? The split would have to be compelled by the federal government. Since no law exists that authorizes that compulsion, that law would have to be created through a bill introduced in Congress, which would have to pass and be signed into law by the President. Then you'd be off to the courts to argue its constitutionality. As the U.S. Constitution is presently construed and interpreted, I am in great doubt that such a law would be upheld by the courts. The potential that law would have for creating mischief would push just about every corporation, union, and public advocacy group right into the courts, too. Or did you want us to set all that aside for the moment -- even though without that proviso all discussion is academic and fantastic -- and talk about advantages and disdvantages of a split? First, may I suggest it would be more appropriate to debate the existing law on mergers and anti-trust, and see if that needs to be modified in the general case, before we charge off into a specific case where we're likely to drown in detail of circumstance? [/quote] So what your saying Is merging is like taking a chain-saw to butter, but demerging is like taking a chainsaw to a rock? Why is the process so much more difficult to demerge? SO once your merged, your in a bind? Don't like that- Correct me If i'm Wrong Andrew, but demerging is easier then Merging up here- I should know, our city just Demerged from the City of Montreal. The last Gov't merged us all, But then the liberal Gov't got back in- and they demereged us, with ease, some uproar, but not nearly as much as merging. UP needs to down scale-
