I don't think a corporation should be treated like a government agency under normalcircumstances, because there should be competition, and they aren't government run. Until you run into cases like Amtrak. Amtrak is supposedly a private company, so they don't have to follow all sorts of guidelines they would if they were a government agency. Yet... They do the government's bidding (ID Required to travel now on the train!, they provide personal info about travellers to DEA and others with no warrant required... even before 9/11). They aren't accountable because they aren't government,yet they derive a significant portion of their income from government grants and subsidies. There is no real competition either. If the government creates and controls a monopoly, it should have to become an official government agency, and be held to the same standards. (we won't get into how the the roads are subsidized by everyone's taxes, to that taking the train becomes uneconomical...) -- noah silva
