[Vision2020] Cost of Government Day!

[Thomas Hansen]

Fascinating concept.  Let's eliminate government all together.  We are all
grown up boys and girls.  I am certain that we can all act maturely and
responsibly.  We can certainly trust each other not to do anything "wrong".

Dale,

What is the cost of not having a government? How much does the Government 
save us in the long run?
