No. That's where a whole mess comes into play. At least in my opinion Government's role is to get out of the way of society. It is to set a minimum.. BARE minimum standard of how to treat one another and from there on, get the hell out of dodge. It is because of two basic ideas. 1: Only government has the coercive power of law and the military. 2: Government is made up of people. Do you want other people to coerce you and use the military into what they feel is a proper society? I certainly don't. I'm sure that many people here would be opposed to what I consider a proper society and would not want me to have the power of coercion and the military to back up my views. -- Steve C.
