An example of government that doesn't work: There are now companies that will take care of you when disaster strikes. Spray your house (and only yours) with fire retardant when San Diego County is swept with flames. Evacuate you by helicopter to 5-star resorts when hurricanes loom. Use connections to a national disaster center for warnings and supply you with food, water, housing (no doubt plush), and medical attention during man-made (terrorist) or natural disasters. No need for a heavenly rapture, the secular version is here now, if you've got the bucks. But wasn't this what government was supposed to do, and do it for everyone?
