Governments can ONLY rule by force.

If we're not careful, nationalism will flare up in enough places to cause another war, ultimately proving Einstein correct.

I think we need a world government or something like it, ruled by law, not force. We have to destroy our nationalist impulses. That part won't be easy because we instinctively support our group, our people, our country. I think right now they're trying to use psychology to influence the masses, but will it work? We can change our instinctive responses but it's never easy. If we do happen to make the necessary adjustments, it'll still be at great cost. And so no matter what happens down the road, it's going to be hard for us.
What a load of excrement. Government is the root of all evil. Count me out of your Borg Utopia.

When has a government ever ruled through genuine, explicit consent of the governed? When have taxes been voluntary or non-existent? What state has existed without being destroyed by a war or engaging in war?

Governments are force.

Progressives will say that government is a good thing if only a really smart and enlightened person rules. Obama proved that is a load of shit.

You're thinking of LAW

and you're mistaking goverment for law, the goverment facilitates laws, and in our case, allows us to define them.

Taxes pay for roads, and because of Americans inability to manage and understanding critical thinking, they also pay for your goverment.

Which is your fault.

Not the governments.
