Education provided by the government doesn't appear to be too useful. What does it teach children? It teaches children to analyze poetry and to hate capitalism. If the parents pay the teachers for the education, then maybe they will teach children more useful stuff. And teachers would then get more money if they do a good job, most of them probably won't be as underpaid as they are now. I and my family certainly won't be willing to pay somebody to teach me Latin, I'd probably be taught something more useful had I lived in anarchy.
Cecelia Wrote:traffic lights too!
In most cases, circular intersections are better solutions. Even so, why would traffic lights magically disappear without a government? Most of them here in Osijek are powered by solar panels, so, even if some idiot wants to make them stop working (if that's more likely to happen in an anarchy than in a state, and I don't see why it would be), it wouldn't be easy for him or her to do that.

Why wouldn't they exist any more? There are quite a few private firefighters.
Cecelia Wrote:they can really go wild with cutting safety in favor of profit.
Well, to paraphrase Milton Friedman, how much can that safety cost? Is it OK to put a safety measure that costs 50 dollars? If so, is it OK to force a safety measure that costs a 1'000'000 dollars? And if your answer to the first one is "yes", and to the other one is "no", then you are putting a price to human life.
Cecelia Wrote:Hiring the monkey is anarchy.
Not at all. The government isn't working for us, it's forcing us to give them money so that they can do things we perhaps don't even want to be done, or that we think somebody else could do that much better.
