Libertarians understand a very simple fact of life: Government doesn't work. It can't deliver the mail on time, it doesn't keep our cities safe, it doesn't educate our children properly.

The police can't stop an intruder, mugger, or stalker from hurting you. They can pursue him only after he has hurt or killed you.
