You're an ideologue who cannot see the truth as it smacks him in the head. How many government-funded and government-created services do you use every day? A shitload, that's how many. Your electricity. Your roads. The GPS signal you use. Government invented the communications satellites that carry most of your communications. There are entire industries built around government-funded efforts.

We can and do agree on the principle that the government should stay out of commercial ventures; but to claim as you do that government produces nothing of use ... that is quite simply false.

The problem with claiming otherwise, as you do, is that it is so clearly simplistic and false, that it leads you to make stupid comments; and it makes thinking people dismiss whatever else you have to say.
