Agreed.
I also agree with you on the fact that any shift to an AC model would cause complete chaos until all the hiccups were hammered out. To me personally (and im sure not all of you) i would view this as a temporary necessary evil if it meant no 'one'(or one group) had a monopoly on a so-called "legal" use of violence.
Once again, just my personal views.

Well if you can stand up and say that your grandmother being raped by a large group of thugs with AIDs is a necessary evil, then I can't really debate you. For me, some things are unacceptable.
You paint a picture of a nightmare world. The wild west + global criminalization, and the ready availability of weapons of mass destruction. Would there be any humanity left when the hiccups were hammered out?
You never did answer about global criminals. Would there be some kind of international union of PDA's which shared information, resources, and boundries? Resources are obviously assets, but so is information and land right? If they all share, isn't that socialism (lol)?
One last nitpick about your free market police system. CitizenA (rich) would have to have a reasonable expectation that CitizenB (poor) will eventually win some form of monetary damages. Since petty and violent criminals are presumably more often motivated by economic, rather than other factors, wouldn't it stand to reason that those individuals who would owe damages are also those least likely to be able to pay them? Why would CitizenA plop down 5% for his neighbor if he didn't think CitizenB would ever actually see the check which theoretically exists? Wouldn't that be economically unsound, or is that part of an "economic good?" At what point does it quit becoming an economic good? At your counties border? At the end of the state? The country? What about the people in the in-betweens? Fuck em? That seems to be OK with you..
*shiver*
Scary that people who actually have a lot of the views you've espoused here are coming into some modicum of power in the US Govt. right now.
SCARY SHIT MAN
Personally, I like roads being public. I like public school.
I like not having to pay my firemen to protect my home. I like the police when they aren't being cunts. I like knowing that some areas of the place where I live have been set aside for wildlife. I like the fact that the things that I eat and take for headaches are mostly safe. Do I like the way the US Govt. is right now? Fucking no, but I sure like those things. I think we could learn a lot from other governments who are doing quite well with socialist democracies. I think we could learn a lot from ourselves in the late 1940's and the 1950's. The greatest period of innovation and progress in this nation was during the era of some of the highest mean tax percentages this country has ever known. Sure, a very few people were able to make that ALL ABOUT THEM with their corporations and their dividends, but tell me, did we go to the moon because of dividends? Did we build the freeway system because of dividends? Well, yes we did, but it's because Uncle Sam got his fucking cut. Uncle Sam gives you a Constitution, a Bill of fucking Rights, fresh cross country blacktop so you can cruise your big block, the best military force the world has ever known by far, a fresh gallon of milk for around $2.50, and you cut him out of the fucking deal? Are you kidding me?
My folks had a better deal.
Rednecks are ruining this fucking country.
