All by the point of the gun the government does this.  Yet the free market provides all of 
these without the coercive nature.  Unfortunate that some people need force to get 
the job done when people are willing to do it on their own.

I'm for liberty.  You are not.  I'm for a non-aggressive civil society that happens daily 
where I live.  You are advocating coercion.  I'm being moral and justice is on my side.
