> Infrastructure != education. Those are two > completely different things. I disagree only because the same argument is used to support both efforts by "government": That without government doing it "for the good of all", there would be people who would not do it and therefore everyone would suffer. It's the same argument used for every governmental program. Even the military is justified by saying that without the ability to maintain a standing military, if the time came for action there would be insufficient time/money/whatever to do the needed thing. Not even *roads* are mentioned in the Constitution, beyond simple post roads to support the post office. Now why wouldn't such an important infrastructure be mentioned? Because private turnpikes were doing a very good job already. Jefferson mentions cutting several days off his commute between Montecello(sp?) and Philadelphia when he chose to take a new private road, and that was just after the Declaration of Independence. I really suggest _The Voluntary City_, ISBN 4-472-08837-8 Chapter 4 goes into how the turnpikes functioned. This isn't pie-eyed Libertarianism, this is historical fact.
