It's a good book, and although C_O keeps harassing me because I haven't finished reading it, he does correctly identify the problem and proposes a radical solution.

The problem, as I see it, is that the powerful vested interests like the current system and will fight to protect it. I guess I'll have to finish the book to find out how he proposes to get around that problem.

Glad I'm not the only one.

I did finish the book. Yesterday, to be exact. C_O will think I read it too fast, so don't let on. It's well worth several readings. One concept in the book to fight the mess is to use the same Acts the foundation-fed activists use and tell the government that they aren't doing their job, that you can do it better. Accumulate data on your property. By now there should be enough history with government regulation to prove that it doesn't work (the regulations) that one could make a case. Now I'm starting on Undue Influence by Ron Arnold.....
