Did you know that the US railways had their fastest growth, and improvements when they were completely privately owned and operated. Now the US is mixed private/public ownership and some trains are on a slow death, while others a leaching off of the tax dollar.

NOTE: Every time you see public funded, government grant, government loan, etc, replace those terms with the correct term tax dollar, and you will see a whole new perspective. However, let me top that, replace that term with stolen private income, and you will have the truth of the matter. So let me restate the first paragraph with this information.

I will complete this post with these correct terms replacing the government approved terms.

So if the train industry can grow, shrink, and change hands according to market flows, what else can? Automotive industries, space travel, cruise ships, high rises, private roads, housing, private and community security, mall and retail security, private fire departments (Already in existence), private and home schooling, private and volunteer healthcare… pause…

You know when growing up, the free clinic programs were huge, and they had many volunteers, but when these recipients started suing over the same trivial stuff that doctors in hospitals and doctors in medical groups were, then the clinics ran out of money quickly. I remember hearing about whole chains of volunteer and sponsored medical clinics being closed due to legal issues. The problem, the patients stopped seeing that they were receiving something from the goodness of the hearts of the donators, and started to see the clinics as a right. But the patients weren’t the only failures, there was also the cities. Even now with food banks, the laws regulating the receiving and distribution of food is causing the food banks from being able to distribute the food to the needy. Rather the food is going to the garbage, because the cities have salt laws, or meat sourcing laws, or other laws the forfeit human rights over fucked up cronyism.

…un-pause… . Everything listed here is already private in one or more places in the US, and in some cases other countries. If it can be done, then do it. If it cannot be done, then it probably shouldn’t be done.

Public sidewalks, why cannot the business who the sidewalk is attached to own the sidewalk. It is to their advantage to maintain it. I’ll go one step further, many businesses do own their own sidewalks. Do more of this.

Public roads. The roads in NYC were private for the longest times. It wasn’t until the 1900s that they really became consumed by the state and converted into stolen private income funded roads. Before then, they were owned by the stores that straddled them, and the trolley companies that ran down the middle of them. However everybody saw the quick buck they could make by selling them to the state for a wad of money stolen from the private sector. The public didn’t mind, they didn’t have the foresight to understand that their hard earned income that was being stolen in small traces would be used against them in the future. It all seemed benevolent at the time. Originally the department of NY that took over the road was formed out of the same group of people that used to take care of the water ways. This information is freely available on the NYC website.

Policing used to be easy. Someone try some funny business, and any bank with a sense about them would have armed security, and armed tellers.

In the west, if you had a problem and the judge found that you had just cause, he would deputize you, so that you could bring in the person. There was a serious drawback. A lazy judge could deputize someone from each side of the problem, which would cause a conflict of interest. A great example of this is the early years of the outlaw Jessie James. Before he was an outlaw, he worked as a cattle hand, when his boss was killed by a competitor with government connections to the military. Jessie got to a judge and was deputized, but he never got his man.

So lets look at the military. The US military has had a very long and proud history of being one of the largest volunteer military force in the world. What is even more, is that the original draft wasn’t to bring people into the military, it was to slow down the number of enlisted to what they could competently train and release into battle. However, after the two wars to end all wars, the US government blemished that great effort of volunteerism with the rewrite of the draft to be a mandatory military service in a war that should never have been, and a 2nd war that shouldn’t have ever been. (Mind you, I believe that with free trade, all wars could have been prevented. A hungry man is more likely to pickup a gun against his neighbor than a well fed one.)

So with all of this volunteerism, why don’t we volunteer to defend our neighbors, our towns, our country side? I would say our borders, but borders are just imaginary lines created by politicians to control the populous, and create a false send of identity.

I’m going to stop here, because it is after midnight, which makes this April 2nd, and I still need sleep. Expect more on this topic in future posts.
