Quote:Your analogy is missing a piece.


The government isn't the lever.  It's the organization that provides the person with the lever.  The lever is the law.


Both the guy who pulls the lever, and the organization that provided the person with the lever are responsible.

 

You're almost there but you just missed it.

 

Ultimately the fault lies with the citizenry of the nation, they are the ones putting the bad guy in front of the lever. THE GOVERNMENT IS THE LEVER AND THE WRECKING BALL.

 

So, like I said, government isn't the problem, government is the mechanism, the fault lies in those with beliefs that don't square with reality, not the fact that we have a government. Without government you'll just have some other less accountable organization stepping in to take over, which is what we currently have with essentially lawless international corporations.
