I'd rather have a private monopoly run by Bill Gates than a public monopoly headed up by Janet Reno.
I am in no way arguing for any monopoly. And public monopolies are the worst. Private monopolies cannot legally use deadly force; governments can and do.

I am arguing that gov't does have a legitimate function in preventing monopolies or cartels from forming.
