Re: Old High School

[Briana LeClaire <mmsmom1@yahoo.com>]

We've been out of town, so sorry if this isn't timely!

Roger that, Professor Goble, and here's why:  government generally
does MORE than necessary on any given project (road, swimming pool,
outhouse, whatever) if given the opportunity.  It does what IT wants
to do. 

The private sector, on the other hand, does what is demanded of it. 
If it (a store, a contractor, a school, etc.) doesn't, it dies.  

The private sector is inherently unselfish:  it must sacrifice
whatever it desires to build/sell in favor of what people want. 
Guvmint doesn't.  So, in this case, we'll be getting more pool than we
want or need.

Yours, Briana
