These are the best of times-- right now, and I suspect 30-40 years from now we will look back on these days fondly, lamenting that our children and grandchildren do not enjoy the peace and freedom that we have enjoyed. The market is life and is much more efficient than anything Washington can fabricate. The problem is, the market is also information and Washington knows this. So even with your glorious grocery stores Washington reaches out its bloody talons to flub up the machinery, refusing to allow producers to distinguish between non-irradiated non-organic foods and those that are irradiated, and other such things. Even with "free" markets it seem Washington is not interested in freedom. I seriously do not trust politicians where the general food supply is concerned. And so I do whatever I can to avoid it. I do precisely the same regarding healthcare and education. I would no more accept a public healthcare system than I would a public education system. Washington cannot provide healthcare or education as inexpensively and efficiently as the market. So then even should politicians force me to pay for public healthcare, I would myself continue to provide for my personal healthcare, just as I now provide for my children's private education.
