the problem here is that you make the assumption that those people in government are different in some way than the rest of us. They are humans, with families, desires, sins, and all the frailties that make us human. Unfortunately, the government has been asceeded<sp?> power from the citizens that even the citizens agree that no one should have: the 'legitimate' power to steal another's property, to murder, to hinder anothers choices when making decisions about their own lives.
You say 'anarchy' as if it is an awful thing, yet you do not even understand it, or human action. It is fear based upon ignorance. So you choose a government built on coercion, destruction of human rights, murder, theft, etc. In the face of this, what could possibly be worse?
