It should be pointed out that the UPRR Police are not "government" in any way. They are a private security force that has limited police powers due to the nature of their job. Their job in this case is to protect the public from inherent dangers on railroad property and to protect the company from liability.

It should also be noted that if the tea bagger/libertarian faction were to carry to conclusion their plan to shut down or starve all government services the only directed use of force would lie with corporate powers or a few very wealthy individuals capable of hiring their own private goon squads. And of course with street gangs.

Drew, I suspect your disdain is not so much for government per se, but for anyone who tells you you can't do anything you want to do.
