Only for those who don't mind being controlled in exchange for certain protections from others, and even these protections are dubious. Laws don't prevent crime or corruption, otherwise we would have neither. Laws exist to punish. I'm probably somewhere between a Libertarian and an anarchist in that regard, but when you hear lie after lie after lie coming out of Washington D.C., our statehouse and even our local governing bodies, trust becomes an issue. Governments defer to the powerful and always have. The rest of us get the crumbs, for which we spend an average of five months' salary.
I thought so.
