Yes, I know. I was referring to your specific action, not the idea of public ownership. You would suggest that someone with the skills, talent, experience, and desire to head a utility/health care company should be a toilet cleaner? That doesn't sound democratic; it sounds authoritarian. Why don't we just execute them instead?
