Wading through a zillion emails piled up during my travels, and I'm sure lots
of folks have already jumped on this one farther down the pile, but since
this is one I happen to know something about . . .

Which failure are you talking about? If it's California's spastic market
"reforms", PLEASE don't call that deregulation. That was just regulation in
a direction that California's politicians and power policy wonks believed
would get them a free lunch when they conceived of their "reforms" in the
mid-late 90s. What's happened in California since is just one more proof of
TANSTAAFL.
