I commented on this video, Bill. So far, 2:10 in, youre wasting my time with your restatement and now an analogy with food to restate the question again. Do you have any answers for how these mutual needs may be satisfied, since you are very displeased with and see our current government as something other than an attempt by citizens to organize ourselves for the purpose of providing these needs by designating officials to manage the operation. Ill listen for another minute or two in hopes that you will get to it. How naive to equate phones and cars with roads. To borrow your words, how stupid. Do you really not know the difference between phones and cars and the one road that we all must use? Do you really believe we would have roads if people just paid for them themselves. Where are these people who will do this and not steal it for themselves or tell you its not for you? Ill tell you what government adds, a framework on which accountability can be established. Thats what our government is supposed to be; was envisioned as; a means by which citizens organize themselves to provide for the common good. What would you call the ones who organize the funds and make the plans etc for roads in your fanciful society with no government? What would you call the systems that you discover must be in place to coordinate just the connecting of these separately built roads? How would you settle the inevitable disagreements that will arise in planning the path, selecting the materials, selecting the contractor, etc, etc, etc? You dont appear to have put much real thought into the ramifications of your simple ideas nor into how this country arrived at our current form of government, with our rights declared in our constitution that is made valid solely though our continued agreement to honor it. There are no rights for anyone except those that we grant to each other through our consent to a law. At 9:48 Im done listening. You call others stupid? If you think a bit about the necessary consequences and required organization of people doing it themselves, and attempting to do so equitably, you will understand that the resulting system will be a bureaucracy. I think a lot of the people you call stupid just know this intuitively and are at a loss when interacting with someone who does not.
