I say wall street and the invisible hand of the market should be the basis for our fire departments. I mean honestly fire departments are run TERRIBLY and nothing, NOTHING, runs things better than markets. A public version of fire protection has made it literally illegal to get private protection, which is why I can't install sprinklers or smoke alarms. The market is god, it is all powerful and all knowing in all things and question it at your peril. I HAVE SPOKEN!
And I'll speak some more. Police departments need to be privatized! What can answer the public need more? Private security firms, or these public money waste projects we call the "long arm of the law"? Just look at every big business and you'll see they hired PRIVATE service instead of the public option! That should tell you what the market decided!
And hey, let's just look at what else the market decided. Every year billions are spent on so called "quack" medicine like magnet therapy, color therapy, homeopathy, and all sorts of bizarre diets like the chocolate diet. Yeah yeah, scientists say that all of these have no basis in reality, but again, the MARKET has spoken and declared with it's infinite wisdom that people value these things, and value is the same thing as quality!

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
