James, first let me thank you for your service.  We agree that the totalitarian control of humans and the violence on human rights it something worth fighting against to protect our families and community. And, in turn, to fight for freedom, to make a more perfect community...police, fire, common defense, community health are good ways to work together.  And this doesn't mean we lose our freedom because we pay for a common fire department...this was a radical departure.  Or to have a community-owned water system to assure our safety.  And democracy, voting, is one way to assure that these organizations are fair to others, if all vote.
And there are other issues where we need to work together...clean air and water are areas where we must assure that people and businesses can't harm others and we need strong government regulations to assure that neither profit nor stupidity cause death.
Canadians pay the costs of their health care together. Isn't that a good idea to fight for too?
