I know the crypto libertarians simply hate the govt, but frankly I love the (US) government: - military that's reasonably competent (vs random warlords trashing everything) - airports, roads, subways and infrastructure (vs every man for himself?!) - air, water, food, etc that's reasonably clean (vs actually being poisoned or living in bubble?!) The list goes on, but you get the idea.
