Explain how the system works. Explain how the various systems operate, how the costs are calculated, and how they're paid. I want to see the same level of *specificity* that I and others have agreed to provide you in our examples.

Do you have any idea what you're asking for? Quite frankly, I do not have the time (nor the space) to explain to you, in detail, how an entire civilization operates. In fact, any attempt by me to explain such a system would fail, since there are doubtless many innovations which specialists in the respective fields would make, and there are many more which have already been made, which I am not necessarilly aware of. I have already offered you explainations of how some systems might operate --the fire dept./insurance company situation, for example. That was in the sections you snipped for not answering "any questions that have been posed". I suggest you go back and read them, if you missed it the first time. I can, however, direct you to a book which deals with the subject in some detail. It's called "The Market for Liberty", by an author who's name eludes me at the moment. If you're really interested in the answers to your above questions, I suggest you go read it. If you need the name of the author to find it, I'm sure I can look it up for you and give it to you within a day or so.

We want an answer not some glib off the shoulder quip.

As I said, read the part of my previous post that you didn't bother to address.

[I'm deleting the rest of this since it doesn't answer any questions that have been posed to the anarcho-whatever side]

Then you haven't been reading very closely. Michael Hohensee
