I was looking at Levine's book (not actually reading it, you understand, because I don't have time to waste on that kind of drivel), when I had two thoughts about government.
Thought #1: If you desire a society based based upon the rule of law, then you have to have a government to erect the legal framework and then enforce the laws hanging off that framework.
Thought #2: Those who rail longest and loudest against any form of government tend to be those same predators who the laws are supposed to control. In other words, when you hear someone bitching and moaning about "government", mark that person as someone you would not want taking your back in a fight...Hmmm....
