Defence against bombing raids.
If you decide to pay for defense and your neighbour does not, how do we cope
with this eventuality?
Similarly, if you decide to pay for fire insurance and your neighbour does
not, do we allow his house to burn down, taking yours with it, or do we save
his house to save yours, giving him something for nothing?
