The Internet was about to be built by several private entities, but government beat them to it by a matter of a year or two at most. Imagine how much better things would have gone if IBM's "ethernet" had beat them to it!

All within the structure a Government provided. So you agree. Thank you.

In East Germany, as the wall was coming down, the government warned people that without the government to control distribution of things like toothpaste, that people would go without. They argued that without central control, how would products get to people that needed them?

Which is partly true. They were trying to save their total control for the West German of building a structure, letting companies build within the structure and regulating them.

Such total fallacies that you live under Paul. It's staggering.

If you can point me to a control without any Government or form of rule. Which operates like the civilised world, you will have proved your delusion to be real. Otherwise you're not proving anything.

I say all this as someone that has lived outside the US for almost half of my 50 years, btw....

Was it in a country with or without a Government. Making sure you were safe, roads were built, your food wasn't poisoning you, your kids weren't spiking themselves on toys, your house didn't fall down because the builder didn't follow the regulations, there was a financial system so the pieces of paper you exchanged for goods had an actual value.
I could go on for weeks telling you what the Government has done to make sure you can operate. but you would still think you could survive without it.
Mutt called you an idiot. I just think you're brainwashed.
