Don't surrender just because some people have to be coerced
I am not so set in beliefs. I am, in fact, very willing to be persuaded. I just need that persuasion to be rational. Really rational, not pretend rational.

So, if government can actually function, to the degree that I want, by gathering money through contributions and fees for services - then I would be willing to explore such a concept.

The thing is, I see mostly wishful thinking here, not practical reality. I have a feeling such a government would leave lots of people dirt poort, with no practical means of escaping poverty. That would suck.

So, I am interested in the idea, as long as it can earn enough money to support sufficient services to ensure that people are empowered.


Do all things with love.
