I'm not saying that such a magazine would be particuarly worthwhile
to read, but there is a fundamental problem when we propose to have
the government, an intrinsic monopoly, engage in publishing.  Either
we give everyone equal access, or we allow the government to decide
what ideas should be subsidized, and which should not.

Perhaps the government doesn't belong in this business?

Governments that don't trust most people with weapons, deserve no trust.
