Charles:

his country shows few signs of libertarian ideology; e.g. they have a state-owned radio station, they haven't quite embraced the idea of competitive bids for government projects, and they still have a monopolistic phone service that has disabled all the pound and star keys on island phones so that people can't save money using American call-back services.

I am going to have to check tomorrow and see about thse star and pound keys. It would amuse me if we had seen the birth of an urban legend. Anguilla vs USA 1) Income taxes Libertarian Socialist 2) Sales Taxes Libertarian Socialist 3) State owned radio Yes Yes 4) Competative bids Sometimes Sometimes 5) Pound keys that work ? Will check Yes 6) Reporting of finances Libertarian Totalitarian 7) Free Speech Yes, sort of Yes, sort of -- Vince
