Yes you are, but you just don't realize it. You advocate the government
providing for the various 'needs' of certain groups thus providing the
security that those needs will be met for them, over an above 'national'
security from attack from an enemy.

I not only am not talking about that, I have no idea what that means.
We're talking about translating, probably by machine, probably from
METAR codes, weather that has already been predicted, into Spanish.

There is the security of 'universal' health care

I was not advocating that. Whether this is a reasonable function of
government is another discussion.

education

I mentioned education, but not in the context of security, and not in
the context of the benefit to the student.

housing

I did not mention housing. Ditto most of the rest.

These are all forms of security
people come to _expect_ to be provided for
them with littel or no effort on their part.

When I use the word "security" I mean "safety from attack, either by an
invading foreign force, or by ill-meaning neighbors". In that context,
it is a proper role of government.

I do not mean, and you misconstrue my words if you mean me to mean,
"comfort in knowing my needs will be met". That is =not= a proper
function of government.
