Re: Government\'s role in our society
[ QUOTE ]
Justice needs to be standardized and consistent. You cannot have a bunch of separate organizations with different rules and systems applying the law. It is perhaps the biggest example of where the government is needed because of a huge amount of consistency required.

Justice isn't consistent now. You think the laws are the same in every state, county, and/or city? Or that every judge will interpret the law in the exact same way? I agree that one of the few roles of gov't should be upholding the law, but your argument is not a good one in favor of that.
I reject pvn's system where justice is for sale to those who can afford it.
One service I'm a little torn on is the space program. Certainly it could be managed better than it is now, but I don't think any company has enough financial interest in sending stuff into space like satellites.
