This is plainly false. Going back 1000s of years history shows us people "working together in an organized if imperfect fashion" to solve common problems. You are arguing for a brutal and savage world. Is that wise? Over time people have gotten better at "working together in an organized if imperfect fashion." The cons/neocons call that "big government." ************************************************************************* ** List info, subscription management, list rules, archives, privacy ** ** policy, calmness, a member map, and more at http://www.cguys.org/ ** *************************************************************************
