Were traffic lights a product of government?
Fire departments would be as effective if they were run privately. If I need the services, I'd much rather have them send me a bill rather than pay for a service I probably won't ever need.

Of course you would. Your house isn't on fire.

That's right.
And if it was on fire, I would rather call a private fire department to put out the fire and then send me a bill.

I like this thread. We need to do a book of the month and all read Jennifer Government. Great parable about a world where capitalism is played out to its logical extreme. Not preachy and very thought provoking.

I guess we'll just have to agree to disagree, then.

Fair enough.
I appreciate what the folks who are firefighters. They are good people and do an under-appreciated job. Until the day comes that there are private fire departments, I have no choice but to pay for a service that I most likely will never need.
