I don't know how many people here are against murder, theft, and fraud, but I know I certainly am. So I can't help but find myself holding a deep disdain for Government since I've come to realize that it's the largest monopoly on the things I consider morally wrong and not at all helpful for society. I also don't know how many people here support freedom and real liberty but Government is the direct antithesis to those things since you can't have either as long as you have rulers that dictate certain aspects of your lives.
I feel that Government has been the cause of the majority of our social and economical problems and in some cases, it most certainly has. What I wish we could all do is find a way to co-exist cooperatively without the coercive violence of Government. While in the beginning, might have been created with good intentions, always mutates into something horribly corrupted in the end as history will show.
“Society is produced by our wants, and government by our wickedness; the former promotes our happiness positively by uniting our affections, the latter negatively by restraining our vices. The one encourages intercourse, the other creates distinctions. The first is a patron, the last a punisher. Society in every state is a blessing, but government even in its best state is but a necessary evil; in its worst state an intolerable one; for when we suffer, or are exposed to the same miseries by a government which we might expect in a country without government, our calamity is heightened by reflecting that we furnish the means by which we suffer." ~Thomas Paine-Common Sense
