Default Re: Would Humanity Be Better Off If We Just Abolish Government?

I'm thinking not - we still need something that will prevent anarchy, which is what government does, theoretically - however, getting the "right" something in place with the right people, is problematic, given the fact that society today has devolved into a every-man-for-himself and I'm-not-a-real/good/rightful-person-if-I-don't-have-X

I think we can thank BF Skinner for this (NOT). <sigh> and rampant predatory capitalism.
