Actually, service industries usually don't count as being socialist when they are govt-run.
By strict definition, socialism is govt control (ownership or heavy regulation) of property ownership.
But your overall point is well made -- there seems to be a line where some govt-controlled services are acceptable, but not others.

The military is not a socialist organsisation, You would know this had you ever served. Police & Fire are service industries, yet i find it interesting that both of these entities are Union, and pandered to by the liberal..

the general conservative/libertarian (small government) platform is that the government exists only to keep the peace.
police, Military and Firemen do just that.

True, it is unfortunate, but libs aren't capable of babysitting themselves, we have to get to work and there's no other choice.
