We don’t so much delegate that authority to the government as allow them to exercise it on our behalf.

If you hire a night watchman to watch your stuff so you can sleep, it doesn’t mean you can’t yourself investigate mysterious bumps in the night.

OK, I'll accept that. You were the one who used the word 'delegate.' :-)

'Delegate' isn't the same as 'concede' though.
