That's pretty deep and I'll have to spend some time thinking about that to truly understand it. As I'm sure you've guessed, I'm not so keen to see any more liberalisation, but sei la vie. One of the first thing that comes to mind is, yeah, but they loose the will to protect themselves, too.
See, there you go ruining a perfectly good thread by throwing in something intelligent and thought provoking!
