Who is forcing anyone to use the road? Maybe, it would be people who have to get to their jobs and to the store?

This is more private/public partnership fascism. Libertarians have to begin engaging their brains and rethinking in light of the economic crash and bankster bailouts. There should be a wall between business and public functions. Otherwise, both are corrupted and there is no free market - as we are seeing right now.

OK, I learned a long time ago not to argue with the disturbed. Nice talking to you.

Right. Suppose it had always been the custom that our food was provided out of tax revenues. Then, one day, someone decided to sell food privately to those who wanted to buy it.

You'd probably still be saying --

There is no fixed wall between the public and the private. Most cities have publicly-run fire departments, some have private companies contracted to fight fires. Some have public ambulances -- most don't.

Some places have public electric companies, some are supplied by private firms. Tell me again where the wall is.
