Quote:Remember that throughout history, it has been totalitarian governments that 'made the trains run on time'.

I don't think this is actually true. Someone (remember hearing, no source) actually studied the famous example, and Mussolini's effect on train lateness was exactly zero. The Soviets were famous for things being grossly off schedule, I presume the trains as much as anything else.

The best government in the world for running trains is probably the Japanese; I don't quite know how to classify that, but I don't think 'totalitarian' is the way to go.
