Riddle me this:

What if the cops are the gang?

Which group of people now holds a monopoly on violence?

If the police are so effective at what they do, why does a market for private security guards exist?

Could the private market ever provide an effective police force?

What did Jefferson mean when he said, "I would rather be exposed to the inconveniences attending too much liberty than those attending too small a degree of it"?

Or Franklin, when he said, "Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety"?

Finally, do regulations and subsidies help or hinder innovation?

If you can't answer these questions, then please ask. They are all small, but vital parts of the big picture. Good luck on your quest!
