Koolay is right. Furthermore, the increase of human population due to government misses the point. Government has increased as population has increased. To say that there are more humans under government therefore government is good is to say that there are more domestic hens than wild jungle fowl so Col. Saunders must be good. Koolay is a student of Stef Molyneaux - I recognized some turns of phrase - and Molyneaux states that we are tax livestock. I think he's right.

If you can find an alternative to government that doesn't cause society to end up like Somalia, I'd love to hear it.

Small crystals inserted into the palm of the hand that start blinking when you get to 30 years old.

Then, anyone with a blinking crystal can join the carousel ceremony and end up one glorious whole.

It's gotta work, who'd want to run from that?

"The greatest deception men suffer is from their own opinions" - Leonardo da Vinci

"I think I use the term “radical” rather loosely, just for emphasis. If you describe yourself as “atheist,” some people will say, “Don’t you mean ‘agnostic’?” I have to reply that I really do mean atheist, I really do not believe that there is a god; in fact, I am convinced that there is not a god (a subtle difference). I see not a shred of evidence to suggest that there is one ... etc., etc. It’s easier to say that I am a radical atheist, just to signal that I really mean it, have thought about it a great deal, and that it’s an opinion I hold seriously." - Douglas Adams (and I echo the sentiment)

If we take the average world height of people as 175 cm, and multiply this by 250 million.
To put in perspective how many governments have killed, if you were to put these corpses standing ontop of each other it would be 437,500 km in length. The distance between the Earth and moon is just 384,400 km.

So in the last 100 years governments have created a body count going beyond the distance of the moon...

You think it's time to consider an alternative to creating a group of people using the initiation of force to solve social problems? How many times are we going to fall for the same trap over and over, like a battered wife clinging to the abusive husband, saying "this time he will be different!" IT'S CRAP! Governments are inherently evil and always will be, and after 250 million people; friends and family being killed, it's time to wake the fuck up. Have some PRIDE for god sakes! This addiction to government is monstrously catastrophic by any objective measure. The experiment is over, governments do not work- they just make things worse.

The social contract, voting, democracy, representatives- it's all nothing. It's just hell and noise that equals to absolutely nothing. Well, worse than nothing... Stop being the battered spouse defending her husband's violence, this addiction to the abusive relationship with government, it's shameful, by voting, supporting governments you are delaying the progress of humanity, and wiping the boots of your abuser, ultimately adding to the body count and destruction of voluntary society. Stop it.
Dude watch this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JdS6fyUIklI
To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.

Quick question - have we checked if it this is a sock? The idea of anybody agreeing with Koolay simply seems insane.

If it is, it's not a very good one.
