Right.

So you are going to shrug off the roads, trains, airports, landfills, 
sanitisation, sewerage, hospitals, health care, schooling of your children, 
policing, etc. ad infinitum as a burden? I suppose they're crap anyway, 
right? I am dying to know how you're going to sort all that out by yourself.

Without elected government, even a crap one, we'd have companies in charge. I 
know which I'd rather have. At least a crap government can be voted out next 
time round. I won't even mention the millions of people last century who died 
to preserve your right to vote. Oops...

Nobody said democracy was perfect (well maybe some do), but in the face of 
the alternatives, it's perhaps the best compromise we've come up with so far.

Sorry folks, I couldn't resist...
