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.

Harry seems to forget, it doesn't snow here but that did not stop him
from interjecting me into his rant.

.... and no FEMA has never done a thing to help us here after a half
dozen hurricanes. Two were serious. (Charley and Wilma)
The only help we got from local government was horticulture removal,
after I cut it up and piled it on the curb (once after Charley)
We pay for that as part of our solid waste removal assessment on our
taxes.

Well, of course. Libertarians only care about themselves.

It is better than only caring what others have to give you, usually at
the point of a government gun.

Perhaps, like here, the community would get together and hire a plow. HOA's do it all
the time without the government interfering.

The county/state plows the public roads. The guy who does my driveway also
plows the private road we are on with four other houses.

It was originally posted as a cute story but you quickly turned it
into another crusade

Way to go

The original piece was libertarian nonsense, whether or not the story
was true.
