Meh, I'm not a dem - I'm a non-participant.
They made the pavement and equipment did they? They logged the forests and sawed the timber, they distilled the chemical treatments? Or was that little bit of misery pushed off on somebody else? They subsidized the industries that provided the required materials (to the tune of billions over generations)? Doubt it. I think you're not really looking at the bigger picture that makes something like that an untenable position to be in. They -still- had support from others, even though you nor they were seemingly aware. We're all long...long past island status. We may hide a cost or shuffle it off but it still exists. Somebody has to square away that bill. Even the simplest of projects (like building a shed) relies on the vast and (for american's such as myself anyway) largely out of sight machinery of state. We complain about what we see as though it weren't just the tip of a behemoth iceberg, but the whole enchilada. Hell, the shit we notice probably isn't even the stuff that would effect change in the overall landscape -if it, specifically, were changed-
Don't even get me started on all the maintenance -after- a block has been paved. Sorry bud, but I'm not buying what you've sold yourself regarding your tax contributions. Sounds to me like your buddies anarcho socialism -itself- was subsidized by the state.........damn that state!

I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
