Privatization of space, NASA and the future

Should prevail over the more bureaucratic, slow and privatization of space to run Government sponsored programmes? This was the topic of conversation today at the Online Think Tank and an individual very wise in our dialogues said:

If the space retains the ability to be privatized, there could be even more trouble brewing. I am not opposed to privatizing the space race.
Yes but the Governments of the world, and many of their leaders are rulers who seek the ultimate powers, so privatization of space seem very viable, considering the other issues? Free market solves the problems; Governments, well, they create them. Have you ever run a business?
If the Government waits until everything is perfect for doing something, then it will never happen, so where are we now, unacceptable, space takes risks. Risk is not bad but hesitation, procrastination, bureaucracy, blame games, legal strangle holds, well they're wrong. NASA has too many people politically correct in its operations and I side with Burt Rutan on this theme, is absolutely correct.
NASA should have funding, a lot of it, but the free enterprise is much more efficient, that is why the Government contracts with free enterprise to get things done, because not only can without the free market mechanism. NASA will suffer losses of shuttles, as these birds are now very old. These losses are acceptable and is 3 times less than they expected when they chose to build these shuttles, the real problem is the media and feeble-minded humans we are voting in Office to lead, they have no vision, no lack of persistence and intellects.
The forward progression takes risks, thereby minimizing the risk and go anyway. Let the politicians to do their job and let the "human plus" Superstar of humanity and nature explorers to make them. We need forward progression to win-is worth the risk.
NASA needs an update. The UN needs an update, The U.s. needs an update and the human race is now ready for the update! Competition is good for getting to efforts and NASA needs some. Let them compete, just like our training needs some competition now. Weakness is not a human characteristic, the weak are not our ancestors, the weak, dead before procreation, those here today have ancestry due to evolutionary truth of natural selection and survival of the fittest. NASA should be in the boat, is the strategy that will make Riverside afloat.
Only the media and the public can kill NASA, but if people are behind them, the power is behind them, then the money is behind them, if they can run. Wow sounds like the person posing the question may have beeen read some of the excellent Ben Bova "Sci Fi novels" and met him once at the Observatory in Tucson Columbia University biosphere II for an interview, should have been there, would have liked.
