I do not subscribe to the idea that Americans are too stupid to make their own decisions and thus need the government to take care of them. I participated in that protest because Bill Gates has done more to improve my life than Janet Reno ever will. As a Libertarian, I recognize that freedom is at stake. This is ludicrous, since it is akin to objecting that my old mechanical carburetor doesn't work on my new '98 model automobile. The public is too uninformed to care whether regulation occurs or not.
Competition works, even if it takes time and allows apparent temporary unfairness or inefficiency.
Government locks in unfairness and inefficiencies. We trust the vast majority of people to make the best choices for themselves in nearly every facet of their lives. We will set people free, both to pursue their dreams and occasionally skin their knees. If this is the only message we get out to people, it will do us the most good. We will set you free, because we trust you.
