The overwhelming majority of people need an authority to tell them what to do, or else they languish in their own appetites and vices. The same goes for companies and greed. You need a referee blowing the whistle and keeping the basketball game from turning into jungle ball, which is pretty much what it is now. Since the Pope and local strongman don't have that kind of power anymore, it's gotta be the government. Other people's fuck-ups affect all of us--as we know all too well because of the ripple effect of having half of American girls be fatties--so you gotta regulate behavior somehow.
You guys give people's own self-control and sense of responsibility to everyone else way-way too much credit. The people running the government are pieces of shit, but this is a good move.
