:lol:

Too stupid.

Where did roads come from Fife?
And why, when we look at the few remaining people who have no contact with the outside world, do they have no roads?

This really is beyond the pale in terms of being a ridiculous argument.

Just because roads are a byproduct of civilization
(division of labor), which exists solely under the
providence of a centralized government
, doesn't
mean you NEED government to have roads! I mean,
private companies can build roads (in lands
protected by the military of a centralized government
).
And in the future we might be able to genetically
engineer ants to build and pave roads for us (in high tech
labs operating safely within the boundaries of centralized
government
).

If vehicle fueled by oil and corn subsidies. Base parts of the car made with more subsidies, plus transported around the globe with state infrastructure. Workers’ wages manipulated by the banksters.
