Conservatives love to hate government.
But thanks to government, we have police, the courts, contract law, potable water, the Internet, seat belts, childhood immunization, and so many other public and private goods.
I’m collecting reasons to be thankful for government at Thanks to Government we have … ( http://governmentisgreat.org/thanks/).
