Government may be a flawed principle in itself, but I think short of some advancements in Eugenics, our need for government is far from over. This forum is a government. The internet you use is a government. McDonalds is a government (they control your actions and do not reward you unless you do what they want, they way they want it, and yet they produce a product through this). Everything needs management, and the roots of this go right down to our childhood. When a baby can be born alone and grow up without any help from anyone else, we won't need government. The second someone says "we dont' need moderation of that", I'll point you to pedophiles, kidnappers, murderers and psychopaths that would raise the child up as a freak.

Government may be inherently evil, but our interest in creating one is natural and understandable. Government is a file system tree on your computer. You want chaos? Fine. Randomize your hard drive. No order! No one tells these bits what to do or where to go! Rather useless.

That's the brainwashing the matrix of B/S instilled in you: "lack of Government? Be afraid!"
...and an ironical negation of your sign.

I'll try to cure it with this quote:
"Before our white brothers came to civilize us we had no jails. Therefore we had no criminals. You cant have criminals without a jail. We had no locks or keys, and so we had no thieves. If a man was so poor that he had no horse, tipi or blanket, someone gave him these things. We were too uncivilized to set much value on personal belongings. We wanted to have things only in order to give them away. We had no money, and therefore a mans worth couldnt be measured by it. We had no written law, no attorney or politicians, therefore we couldnt cheat. We were in a really bad way before the white man came, and I dont know how we managed to get along without the basic things which, we are told, are absolutely necessary to make a civilized society." - John Lame Deer, Seeker of Visions: The Life of a Sioux Medicine Man, Simon & Schuster; Revised edition (October 1, 1994)

That's some grade-A bullshit right there. Does John Lame Deer go on to explain how we went to space, cured diseases, etc with such a society? Oops.

Also, I am far from afraid of government or living without it. I believe however that as seekers of shelter and cooperation, we are inherently drawn to moderation for the fairness of the group. Such is government. I will not defend any government though, they need to defend their own practices.
