Educators somehow seem to worship competition but despise any who
succeed.  The idea that someone will profit seems to totally obscure
the reality that many also lose.  Indeed, it is only in the case of
highly regulated industries that all participants succeed and those
who persevere get huge.  In my view, the truer the competition, the
greater the tendency toward multiple participants and the ability of
competition to assure good value to purchasers.  Of course that
presumes diligent and informed  consumers who have not been lulled
into promiscuous purchasing by the false promise of government
protection.
