You ever use your fire department? Ever call the police? Do you use your library? Community center? Well, you're payin' for them also.

You live in a community, Zon. You're not Jeremiah Johnson. People pitch in a pay for things even though they, themselves, may not use them.

Only one of those is a valid government function -- police. Obviously you're a collectivist that supports the government sacrificing the individual by initiating harm on person's that have harmed no one but perhaps themselves. BTW, where I grew up there was and still is a volunteer fire department -- not a government function. They provide exemplary service to the community.

If you think a person has harmed you take the person to court before an impartial jury. Do your best to prove that you were harmed. If the jury decides in your favor you will be due restitution for your loss and suffering. That's way too honest for you. You'd rather support the government control over people.

Yeah like the local volunteer fire department, right? 

And no person is forced to pay for it because it's not under government control. Gosh, I bet you hate that.
