There are two novels that can change a bookish fourteen-year old's life: The Lord of the Rings and Atlas Shrugged. One is a childish fantasy that often engenders a lifelong obsession with its unbelievable heroes, leading to an emotionally stunted, socially crippled adulthood, unable to deal with the real world. The other, of course, involves orcs.

Well, like the military, this is one of the few economic areas where private enterprise is not sufficient, for many reasons-for instance, in any kind of built-up area, once a fire gets going, you can't just pick and choose buildings to fight it at based on who paid up. To label it "socialist" as a way of equating it with universal health care or welfare is disingenuous.
