    What you said there is literally why I am a Libertarian.

I see. Perhaps I can get you to reconsider.

    government can do good things as well

It would be stupid to claim that government investment produces no benefits.

I have found that the dialog is more constructive when framed as "better or worse" than "good or bad." Is government the only way to get the thing we want? If not, is any alternative better, when we consider both costs and benefits?

Sorry for all the self-promotion, but it looks like you took a long nap and missed some of my best work.
