I guess I missed the point.  If market forces cannot come up with a  
mechanism,
are you saying you would not go with the government either ?

If you say you believe it will rain tomorrow, and you have no  
supporting reasoning
other than sheer belief, then, yes, it is indeed a Tomorrow-Rain  
religion.  Especially
if you live in Colorado as I do.

May the rain-god perch over your house,
Cedric
