Z, > It doesn't. I didn't say it did. What's the context for claiming that Intel owes part of its existence to government? What's the alternative you think I'm arguing for? Anarchy? Tenchusatsu

I bought one of those large meshed bags of very nice navel oranges yesterday for $4.77. How can they grow these wonderful things in Florida, make the packaging, the labeling, pick the oranges, process them and put them in the bags, get them on a truck and send them all the way to Colorado, unload them and have a produce man arrange to have them in his store, stock them on the floor, check them at the stand, provide all the over head management and costs of owning and running a store for $4.77 a bag? The efficiency of our culture is unbelievable. I don't believe the government is ever efficient. The natural conclusion to draw from that belief system is to reduce the size of govt to the absolute minimum necessary to maintain our country's security and order.
