Well... Gee! Food is much more important to children and urgent than schooling. Why not have locally controlled socialist ( social contract) food dispensaries?

Why? Mainly because I don't want that. I don't think it would be evocative of the kind of individual initiative that I believe to be valuable. I don't know of anyone else who travels in my circle of acquaintances who would want that either. Ergo, no social contract on that for me. Someone other community might want a food dispensary. Maybe they'll get one.

Are you always this much of a smartass, or only when you are addressing me?

It is hard to hold a civil conversation with someone who makes fun of you from the get-go.

You have called me a “smartass”. That's a personal insult.

The defense of you philosophic stand is that you don't think food should fall under your umbrella of “social contract” because none of your circle of acquaintances or anyone you know thinks it should. That is weak defense of your position.

If food and clothing should not be part of the “social contract” than neither should schooling. Schooling is far less urgent a need than food.
