Courtesy of my good friend Carl Watner in South Carolina, publisher since 1982 of the quarterly, The Voluntaryist, and of I Must Speak Out: The Best of the Voluntaryist, 1982-1999 (Fox & Wilkes, 1999), I came across this excellent essay from Issue 92 of June, 1998:
http://www.voluntaryist.com/backissues/092.pdf
It thoroughly trashes one of the most diamond-hard myths of our time -- to wit, that government is ultimately useful for precisely anything at all. It does so by exposing and debunking what most people would otherwise regard as one of the most basic and fundamental functions of government: Construction and maintenance of roads. This essay proves that the State fails miserably at even this, while at the same time financing waste and needless projects via taxation, i.e., violent theft at the barrel of a gun. Actually, the whole issue focuses on all things automotive from a Voluntaryist perspective. The ultimate moral is that free markets work well, socialism not at all, and that GOVERNMENTS MUST GO, PERIOD. Enjoy the rewiring of your brain structure... :-)
