I'm aware of the large libertarian chunk of HN and have nothing against libertarians. But api made no references or comments about the efficiency of government services; he merely stated that companies use government services. Not to be rude, but it seems like you are looking to start a political debate where there isn't one (and a conversation that has been had over and over again in HN threads).
