wants to do.

That's because they can't win the market argument, but their chances of winning the technology argument are a little better.

Now, the technology might be a huge problem as well, but we have a history in America of over a hundred hears of convincing America to do realy dumb things on the basis that technology was going to make life better. And I don't mean that technology is bad, but just look at the BBV issue. We probably are losing liberal votes left and right because we convinced people that there are these magic things called 'silicon chips' which cooly and rationally count every vote and spit them out on demand, and can add to the 56th significant figure and do all sorts of amazing thing. Yes, technology will be our salvation. Oh, and totally rigged, uncompetitve markets, those are our salvation too, but we rather not get into the details, right?
