Libertarians needn't worry, the world is getting privatized every day

Libertarians fret because so few government functions have been privatized, but if they want to feel better, they should note that all new technology efforts are done privately. Take the trans-Pacific fiber Google and other companies strung recently. Or the whole open-source movement. Or all the different standards: Wi-Fi, WiMax, RSS. The government can't take over these efforts because it moves too slowly. Instead of whining about what should be privatized, and asking for the government's help in doing it, libertarians should just try to put their ideas into practice. Of course, then they couldn't bash the U.S. any more, so they would never do it. One example is private schools. Libertarians want vouchers. But what's keeping them from making a network of private schools and figuring out how to finance it. Private schools are a competitor to public schools, so improve them if you want them to win. I'm not mocking libertarians; I think doing these things would work. The high-tech, private world is moving fast, and people that spend too much time whining about society and the government will be left behind.
