Jerry Searcy, #22902, makes a good point that non-consensual force, fraud, 
and breach of contract should be prohibited by law. Let's add theft to 
that, too. He says that's all that should be enforced by the government, 
and "a small sales tax" could support the necessary enforcement agency 
(police force). Otherwise we could go about our business and not have to 
worry about the government, because the private sector would take 
responsibility for things like roads, schools, and welfare. Well, this 
certainly sounds good. But once again, I don't think it has ever worked on 
any sizable scale, and I again raise the issue of whether there is 
something in human nature that makes it unlikely it would work.
