Well, Ive been watching this thread, more or less from the begining.
YourNeverThere, I cant say that I think anarchy is the right path, but as it stands, the government certinly needs a major overhaul...
That aside, I can completely see where you are coming from. Forgive me, I cant seem to remember the names, but wern't there two English philosophers that represented the differant views on whether humans were innatly good or bad? Was it Locke and Hobbes?
On that note, how do you define good and bad?
Personaly, I do see a need for cops. Not everyone is bad, in fact most people are good. But there are those few real fucking dick heads that ruin it for the rest of us.
Even if we were all basicaly good, there are still things that good people can do, that would harm other good people. Thats not to say that its intentional.
After all, driving 100 mph on your way home is fine, but accidentaly making a head on crash and killng some mother of three, BECAUSE of that is not. But, you never intended to kill her, you just wanted to get where ever you were going.
In my belief the only laws that exist should be ones that distinctly prevent harm to another human being. Any law that can be justified by that is fine by me, provided it doesn not affect any of our other freedoms (ex: 2nd ammendment...).
Lastly, as far as ego goes...I dont care who has what ego, but keep it to your fucking self would you? After all, I cant stop you from having a condecending opinion about me, but I sure as hell don't need to hear about it.
