..and bad for all those who value their personal freedom to travel. I
can't think of a better way to control people than to force them into
cattle-cars for any trip longer than walking distance. Central control
over goods transport is an even more powerful means of control. This is
exemplified here in the Philippines, where an oligopoly of shipping
firms controls interisland freight and systematically prevents farm
products from Mindanao (for instance) from reaching lucrative markets in
Luzon.
