...are such wonderful, rugged, individualist Americans, and voted their rugged individuality, (more than once IIRC) the individual citizens pay for the service, or there would be, NO SERVICE AT ALL.

This from a recent post of mine: Collectively: You vote to punish not correct; You cheerfully (even gleefully) vote to defund social services not personally relevant; You vote to control aspects of other peoples lives which are none of your gods be damned business. And you do these things repeatedly countrywide.
