Raz, this is my answer to your crazy liberalism:

Rush Limbaugh advises 14-year-old on dealing with teachers who indoctrinate liberalism

Rush Limbaugh (10/18/13): "They think that they are utterly, totally normal, that there is nothing biased about them, nothing ideological about them at all. They talk about 'tolerance'... "

I'm not going to listen to 23 minutes of Rush Limbaugh on youtube.
It's not like you have anything better to do.
I do not hate you, nor do I love you, but you are made out of atoms which I can use for something else.

You can provide military defense on the private market.

No I can't.

And if I could the amount I purchased would be suboptimal from a societal POV because of the positive externality.

No kidding.  But I think PW was talking specifically about the Republicans absorbing the Know-Nothing party.

Quote from: Samuel BurchardWe are Republicans, and don't propose to leave our party and identify ourselves with the party whose antecedents have been rum, Romanism, and rebellion. We are loyal to our flag.

I don't know the particulars of why you can't provide it, but I fail to see how something being "suboptimal" to society makes it impossible.  People have or formed private military organizations.  It's not conducive to a stable state, but so what?
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Pretty much anything I did would have been better.  As it was, I went to sleep.

But there are no relevant externalities or suboptimal outcomes related to having children grow up malnourished, and grown-ups starve?

I can't because I don't have enough money.

I mispoke earlier Raz.  Anything can be bought on the private market.  The point is that public goods will not be consumed at the optimal level if left to the private market.

I'm sorry you you don't have enough money.  Define "Optimal" here.  I can think a lot of goods that are private and can be consumed publicly.

Tone down the razzishness a notch or two.

Stop stalking me.  You going to tell me, what "Optimal" here means or not.
