It CAN NOT protect each and every citizen at every moment. It is each persons personal responsibility to manage their own affairs. And that person taking me to the hospital is getting paid by the insurance that I(Note, I said I) paid for. I don't expect someone else to pay for it for me. The government is nothing more than a bunch of people getting paid by our tax dollars. They are not some super human or super smart people. They are just like you and me except they work for us. >We elect people to have over-sight and act in our >interests. Intersts are defined as community, state, >nation (people).
