[QUOTE="grasping the after wind, post: 65048626, member: 256417"] I have no idea what life is like in Belize and would be a fool to pretend I do, not ever having lived there. I do have a number of friends and acquaintances that are there at this very moment and will return in about a week . When they return I will be sure to ask their opinion on the subject. If you like,I will relay that opinion to you. I'm no anarchist.Generally speaking I think we need government because we would prey on each other so much more without it. We also need to keep it in check and keep it from being worse than having no government at all. The best way to keep it in check is to make sure there are hard and fast rules that government is required to follow. Government at rare times can be a positive force but much more often than not it is an oppressor. It does not seem possible for government's to assist one group without doing so by not only punishing but demonizing another. Pretending that it is possible to create a utopia and attempting to do so often leads to a situation where government's oppressive tendencies are given full leeway to assert themselves. [/QUOTE]
