 Practically I agree, but it is a cop out answer.  Your response sounds like everyone I tell about Bitcoin.  Why not just keep the system we have, it's worked well so far. 

It would be practically difficult to implement what I'm describing, but I don't think that makes it fundamentally the wrong idea.  Lots of great ideas are going to be difficult to implement......but very worth it(Bitcoin, private roads, minarchy in general etc.)

Well someday we'll get into this in person😂.  Thanks for the rousing debate.  I'll agree to disagree.
