On the Subject of the Word "Public"

This is my current list of things in our culture that have the word public in them that are NOT government-funded.
  • Public golf course
  • Public restroom (not rest areas)
  • Certified Public Accountant
  • "open to the public"
It is an interesting, and tragic in my opinion, fact that this list is so small and that the word public has come to be synonomous with government-funded in the USA.
