Z:gnu-www-ja-moglen-harvard-speech-2004--8a8854-I think it would be appropriat/en

I think it would be appropriate to suggest, if you like, that where we now are is in a world, where, if I may employ a metaphor, Mr. McBride and his colleagues &mdash; I do mean those in Redmond, as well as those in Utah &mdash; think that roads should all be toll roads. The ability to get from here to there's a product. Buy it, or we exclude you from it. Others believe that highways should be public utilities. Let us figure out how to use the public highways best, so that everybody can profit from them - from the reduction of the costs of transportations of goods and the provisions of services &mdash; and by the by, there will be plenty of money to pay traffic engineers and the people who fix the pot holes.
