(Joe replies:-) I would say, "No, it would not." And I'm not discounting
what you've noted, but I would also qualify that by saying that often times
the "quality of service" was already diminishing when such operations or
assets were under 'public' ownership. And we haven't really ever dealt
directly with 'why' this became so. But, clearly, it seems to me it has
been so. However, I don't personally think 'privatization', the way it's
turned out wherever it's been tried, is necessarily the cure for that. In
fact, often anything but.
