If you actually read the article… it’s LOADED with choice at no point does it say anyone is forced to do anything against their will. |
Slippery slope there buddy
Who gets to determine whether the choices I am "ALLOWED" to make are "necessary, fair and good" choices ?
Governments are like vampires, they need permission to enter your life, but once they're in they suck you dry |
Humans are the most social species on the planet and social norms are part of our nature. As societies grew social norms necessarily grew into law, policies, and formal government, but we've always had something like that and it has been key to human progress.
Getting the size and reach of government IS IMPORTANT, but without governments we'd not have made it far. Not all governments are bad and nor is every act of a government bad.
