I have a vested interest in the public safety in my community. Drug dealers, breaking and entering, gun violence, etc. all decrease property values and represent a possible threat to my family.
I have no vested interest whatsoever in the health and well-being of other people that I am an no way, shape, or form financially responsible for. I am responsible for my family, and so I can also take measures to ensure our health and well-being. We eat sensibly, exercise, and make other choices that I have no control over anyone outside of my family, nor should I.
And the police privatization supporter says: "I have no vested interest whatsoever in the health and well-being of other people that I am in no way, shape, or form financially responsible for. I am responsible for my family, and so I take measures to ensure our health and well-being. We lock our doors, have a home security system, pay for the best private police force money can buy and make other choices that I have no control over anyone outside of my family, nor should I."
And your counterargument would be, I'm sure, "Well that's just RIDICULOUS!!!
And the other guy goes, "Get your own police! Stop freeloading off the government and relying on the people who worked hard enough to afford the best security money can buy to keep you and your family safe! Be personally responsible!"
And your counterargument would be, I'm sure, "Well that's just RIDICULOUS!!!"
P.S. you forgot to mention the fact that infectious disease in your community also represents "a possible threat to your family".
P.P.S. lol @ you won't get cancer as long as you exercise and eat healthy.
