I don't necessarily think man kind *NEEDS* government. However the idea of government (as in a collective group of people who are supposed to help.. "By the people for the people") is not bad. Though the corruption of the American government has created distance, which makes me believe that we shouldn't have this parental force controlling every move we make. The idea is good. The reality of it is bad.

As most might know, I'm for self autonomy. Since the role of government (as a colective force) has failed (in my eyes) their is only this option.
