Indeed?  The critical difference in my thinking and yours is found in this
one sentence.  People coming together for roads, bridges, schools and
police, yes.  Theatres?  No.  That is exclusively the domain of private
industry, and the root of the tension between libertarian and statist.  It
is not in everyone's best interest to pool resources to build theatres.

no-brainer... Richard Loosemore

You said it, not me.  Somalia is the criminal's paradise, not the
libertarian's.
