#1 "Government and prostitutes provide services. Businesses sell a product. When the product has been adulterated it's harder to sell. When new technology comes along the business either has to adapt, die, become a government service, or sell its ass on street corners."

That aphorism is pure gold. I will take a dozen.

#3 It's classical post-modern liberalism. You don't use your own money to operate 'worthwhile' projects, you use other people's money to run them even though the 'people' don't believe it is 'worthwhile' enough to justify expending the product of their labor and skills. We're not talking the traditional functions of a American government. This is so Euro.
