Little Hawk--I'm pretty much in agreement with you here. It ain't for nothing they're called Public Utilities...at least they used to be.

I also am against mega mergers within industies. Does anyone seriously think there will be more choices when the XM/Sirius merger? There used to be 6 or 7 grocery chains otSC; now only 3. Do we have the same choices in brands and types of food. We do not!

Lest you think I am turning in my conservative creditials, Im not. But there does have to be a balance between size and service to the public.
