But this is extremely deceptive as the costs to the people are never lower with the introduction of PROFIT into the process.
I couldn't agree with you more Jeffrey. The argument for privatisation has been to nullify unions (many I suppose deservedly so because any entity that becomes 'too powerful' is by my definition, 'too much'), but the underlying reason has been to redirect tax dollars into private hands. Members of the government and the civil service who have aided and abetted this process then, thereafter, slot into handsomely paid private sector jobs, a la Tony Blair (Blair claims to need £15 million a year just to break-even - poor thing).
The shadow is a moral problem that challenges the whole ego-personality, for no one can become conscious of the shadow without considerable moral effort. To become conscious of it involves recognizing the dark aspects of the personality as present and real. This act is the essential condition for any kind of self-knowledge.
