Somebody has to do it. I suppose, were we on some other historical trajectory, a private entity would do the sorting-out. My point is not that we need a government in order to have culture, but that we need to extend the notion of individual rights into the cultural sphere in order to have culture.
I donno. Suppose my neighbor likes to watch old Flintstones reruns, and he keeps the volume up loud. He has his culture and I have mine. This is really a property rights situation. The best answer for us sensitive types is probably to have a lot of property surrounding our homes. If we want to save money on such things as large gated estates, we accept the tradeoff of obnoxious neighbors.
