Ah, so you acknowledge the need for government? And how do you plan to fund it? Donations?

What I get a particular kick out of is the "private does it better" matra. No, private does some things better. If this isn't obvious to you, I don't think there's any point continuing this. Look to the US power grid, telephone system, or health care for a fine example of the wonders of privitization. Hell, look at any Western society that is increasing privitization, like New Zealand, Australia, and parts of western Europe.

"But wait!" you cry, "Those are government-enforced monopolies!" Bullshit. Power fills a vacuum. If there's non-initiation of force, how do you plan to prevent de facto monopolies from taking over the market? The entire power of government is based on force. If there's no force, it's useless. And if those monopolies control the market, what's to stop them from setting up their own government?

Libertarianism is full of logical inconsistencies. It's a fucking joke.
