I have a solution to the roads problem. I live here. You live there. We buy the land between us and build a road. John W. Simith wants to use the road. We charge him a toll or user subscriber fee. He may want to buy into our venture and become an investor. Or he may not. Roderick T. Beaman,D.O. Board Certified Family Physician Politicians and government officials are like diapers. They should be changed often and for the same reasons.

It is a sticky wicket. Do you barter? Barter takes government out of the equation but one could argue that the coercive state is still in the background "working" (as it were). True anarcho-capitalism might could work with "government" as a fee for service sorta arrangement. Believe it or not, as of right now, my biggest sticking point is with roads. Anyway, we've put some serious thought into it and have most of the big details worked out theoretically (as far as that ever goes...unintended consequences and all). But it would have to be a Fabian sort of transition. Any abrupt end of our current state would end in dictatorship or, at least, oligarchy.
