A smart reader sent in this e-mail sketching out the practical difficulties that nationalization would entail. I should say that I don't really have a firm opinion on whether we should nationalize: The specifics of the process are a bit beyond where I feel comfortable drawing conclusions. The experts who've been most prescient seem generally in favor of nationalization and that should carry a fair amount of weight. But some of the dissenters certainly make good points. Anyway, enough throat-clearing: The e-mail follows the fold.
