You bet. I was a child in the early '80's, living on a base in Warrington (yeah yeah yeah, that place right between Manchester and Liverpool that didn't hit the maps until AFTER the US Base closed and the IRA bombed Town Centre), with all the prejudice that went along with it (parents teaching their kids to hate me because I'm the child of an American Solder and *I* bring bombs and destruction), but at least I got to spend my time taking advantage of the AWESOME and REGULATED transit systems that once existed.
Deregulation of public services is a fools money-making scheme. Check out CA's famous scandal to cause rolling black-outs to squeeze more money by becoming independent billing agencies of electric plants. Even I knew that was stupid, and it infected VA too... oh I'm gay, so I won't lecture on the prejudice VA has to offer, but needless to say, I'd rather immigrate to England/Euro than continue to put up with VA's stupid "Marriage Protection Act" under it's flag against tyranny. So, don't hold that against immigrants!
