Public parts | Freedom quest of Zork (the) Hun :
April 6, 2014 - "What exactly is private about a grocery store? It cannot exist without the public. The reason for its very existence is to serve the public. No private business can exist unless it serves the public. We know that private businesses serve the public because the public is willingly bringing money to them to exchange it for the goods and services they offer. There is nothing more ‘public’ than a private business doing business with the public.
"The only difference is that what the Communist Broadcasting Corporation calls ‘private’ are initiatives of people who are willing to bet their own money to provide a service that they believe the public wants while ‘public’ are the ones that for sure cannot survive without the coercive taxation power of the government.
"How did we get to a world where something that is in fact serving the interest of the public is called ‘private’ while something the members of the public would not want to pay for from their own pocket is called ‘public’? How did we get to this upside down world where nobody even seems to notice the irony and have serious discussions about the subject, with self-serving politicians parading under the banner of 'Public Interest'?"
