Brian Keegan added,
Obviously not my one and only wish or demand, feel free to add many more.
In looking to models of accountability, what do the conditions that brought them about say about our options now?
If we want a regulatory model of accountability, what is the social history of SEC, FDA, etc.?
If we want a nationalized model of accountability, what is the social history and consequences of Amtrak, BellCo, etc.?
If we want a politicized model of accountability, what are the successes and shortcomings of FTC, FCC, etc.?
In dodging the Q of regulatory mode, you're buying into conservative critique rather than evaluating menu of options & histories.
More like: I have my own ideas, but I don't think anyone has full answers and should not pretend. I'd like the question to exist.
