It's not a matter of being a free-floating entity disconnected from the rest of existence and people. It's simply a matter of individuals owning and deciding for their own property and lives without others attacking them. So, I would phone the Qualcomm fire brigade who would show up half an hour before the government run one. In fact, they wouldn't have to show up because there wouldn't be a fire in the first place because Qualcomm management systems would avoid the situation arising. A state-run ambulance would be a day late and a dollar short because the Qualcomm medical analysis systems installed in my body would long before have sorted things out, provided warnings and gpsOne electronic/photonic managed, graviton levitated, superconductor propelled, transport systems would have done whatever delivery was necessary. It's the 21st century now Snowy. Karl Marx was a 19th century character with bung ideas. Indeed I have planned bridges with my own free market money, and power stations and stuff, but one very quickly bumps up against the mindless mob of Nanny State who puts the kibosh on anything good. Fortunately, they cause much more suffering to themselves than to me because I have got myself in a situation so that they seethe in traffic delays and hopelessness while I cruise in later for them to make me a coffee and lunch. They vote for traffic jams and a difficult life, but I prefer to avoid those and do [nearly always]. Airports are a problem, over run by governments who just love the control and the cash flow. There is no better place for them to bully and herd people like sheep, fleecing them as they pass the toll gate. Mqurice
