CTL,
1. Why not require that kids go around with armed guards? It seems to me that “helicopter parenting” is getting way out of hand. The persecution of free-range parents by “child welfare” busybodies (where are they in real cases of abuse?) is the perfect example of a choking bureaucracy.
2. In both the US and Israel telephone service has been deregulated with great success.See the Cato Institutes’ paper “What Happens When Local Phone Service
Is Deregulated?” on-line. Crony capitalism only benefits the cronies.
3. Was CT a better state then or now?
