Having the streets plowed by the local government so you can get to
work, the grocery store, to a doctor's appointment or to school, as
examples, is certainly government at the point of a gun. So, if you
lived up north, you'd be out there as a libertarian, insisting the local
government not plow the road in front of your house, eh? Would you have
your trusty sidearm on your hip?

Nuts with the local government plowing streets. We do that a lot
ourselves. That's why farmers around here have tractors with blades on
them. Sometimes waiting on the township crew can be frustrating. Off
and on I spent two days plowing here last year...


How wonderful for you. I don't own a snowplow. I contract with the guy
who does our heavy landscaping. He has a plow and a big 4WD truck, and
typically gets to us within a day of a heavy snowfall. That's good
enough. The county and the state highway commission take care of the
public roads pretty quickly.


Tim, do you have to cart your garbage to the dump in your car, like
Harry does?
