A Message to Libertarians

I am awakened in the morning by my alarm clock at the appropriate time as regulated by the US congress and kept accurate by the national institute of standards and technology and the US naval observatory, a clock powered with the electricity generated by the public power monopoly regulated by the US department of energy. I groggily rise out of bed and stumble into the shower to bathe myself in clean water provided by the municipal water utility using soap approved by the department of consumer affairs. As I dry myself I flip on the TV to one of the FCC regulated channels to see what the national weather service of the national oceanographic and atmospheric administration determined the weather was going to be like using satellites designed, built, and launched by the national aeronautics and space administration. I then proceed to eat my breakfast composed mostly of derivatives of subsidized corn, inspected by the US department of agriculture inspected food and take my allergy drugs, both of which have been determined as safe by the food and drug administration.

Thanks to the Cash for Clunkers program I then get into my national highway traffic safety administration approved automobile, having been licensed to do so by the state, and set out to my public school on the roads built by the local, state, and federal departments of transportation, possibly stopping to purchase additional fuel of a quality level determined by the environmental protection agency, using legal tender issued by the federal reserve bank. Using the GPS system designed by the navy and maintained by the department of defense I check that I am, in fact, on the correct course. On the back from public school I deposit any mail I have to be sent out via the US postal service.

This is a complete joke. The FCC? Do you want the internet to be as docile and harmless as TV? Or how about the Postal Service, which is out-competed against by pretty much every private mail company. Or how about the fact that we supposedly have the strongest army in the world yet can't manage a bunch of desert savages. Subsidized corn is hurting the environment and food production, and never mind the fact that the EPA can use environmental regulations to strip citizens of private property. Phone? Because government regulations surely didn't cause the current oligopoly on communication. Regulations cause more monopolies and oligopolies than the free market ever could, the government exists to destroy completion and bailout weak, inefficient corporations.

Yeah the government's good alright. Good for destroying the economy and imposing and regulating morals like the citizens are children.  Keep worshiping the state.
