The "Gully Foyle Bashes Libertarianism" extravaganza.

I was reading the essay in the first post and as a Dane I feel have to comment. As example ticket sale to trains, ooutside a few major stations we don't have a shop which only sell tickets, in fact mostly they are sold either in automats or in 7/11 (who lease shops on most Danish train stations). So he entered a highly specialised service shop and expected minimum workers. Next that the person knew the train plan came as a surprise to him (not really the most complex task), especially a person answering question about tthe train plan the entire day. How incompetent is American service workers that these things come as a surprise to anybody? Next the worker likely do not have more than a elemental school or high school education (but the former is more likely), but some of the few things Danes learn very early are; take intiativ, cooperate and try not to borther your boss by things you can find out yourself (as example with the computer she stand in front off).
