Think rate regulation, which froze rates in an inflationary period (1906-WWI), and prevented competitive responses post WWII, and massive ifrastructure subsidys to all competing modes for the entire 20th century. <br /> <br />Mac <br />[/quote] <br /> <br />thank you. Now there's a man who's talking sense.
