Humans tend to be imperfect. To date I've yet to meet a perfect human. The better I know a person, the more flawed I realize they are. Which is okay.

What is not okay, is putting so much power in the hands of someone so flawed.

To take it a step further, what is not okay is to put so much power into the hands of institutions, like government, that are so predictably net negative utilizers of the power already handed to them.

Marketplaces leave lots of room and lots of methods for competition, alternatives, meritocracy, ways of opting out or opting in, rationing, preparing, providing, predicting, and so much more.

Government has its single tool: fiat. And the demi-tool: threats. And the quasi-demi-tool: implications of threats.
