You keep walking by the argument without even saying hello. A simple question; grant me, as a personal favor, the point that the valid response to an unnacountable government is armed rebellion. So say you and I go form a militia. Right-thinking americans (who are, of course, in the majority) raly to our cause. The washington kleptocracy is o'erthrown. A new constitutional convention is held.
Now, do you seriously believe that this convention results in the _absence_ of a federal government?
Here's a better question. The last five years have seen corporate malfeasance undreamt of since the era of the trusts. Why aren't you calling for the abolition of the corporation as a legal entity?
the federal reserve
Yeah, let's have a puny central bank, like russia. They're doing real well without inflation controls.
Amtrak sucks
Did you miss my caveat about good management, or just ignore it?
private enterprise can reach space cheaply
Yeah, maybe corporations will do space travel as well as they do air travel. Air travel looked pretty cheap, too - until all those bankruptcies.
Besides, I thought the point of space travel was to learn something, not to save money?If the corps do research, do you think they'll opensource the results? That'll be the day.
I'm not gonna touch the constitutional arguments, like I said, they miss the point. The crucial difference between our points of view is that while we both think that a single entity is responsible or the world being a tiolet (you - the government, me - corporations) you call for abolition while I call for reform.
