"So depending on our government has become apart of our society thus blaming the government is selfish in its self."
I blame the government for most of societies problems and I depend on the government for *nothing*. How do you explain that? |

No ER we developed government to be selfish.. When it comes to protection are we not protecting ourselves through government? Selfish Kids not working in factories and going to school? This may be selfish but selfish for who? education feeds our nation so when FDR abolished child labor in the US he was being selfish for our nation. There are many differant forms of selfishness and with out narrowing the field being selfish is a good thing.

I thought being selfish is what makes us happy, and we're happiest when we're selfish. Now I am told that we're happiest when we surrender or right to be selfish to government. This is crazytalk!

"I did, "Because selfishness is appeased by the government" This is why we have set up such a thing as government. My Right to the persuit of happiness. Originally laws were dictated from the laws of man and the whims of polititians."
Huh? How can a selfish creature such as man be appeased and therefore happy by surrendering his freedom and right to be selfish? This is getting more illogical by the minute... |

Lucky what is the purpose of government? You haven't explained how you reconcile in your mind that even though mankind is inherently selfish he created the social structure of government to place limits on how selfish he is allowed to be. All you have done is harangue that people want too much from their government, so I ask you if the purpose of government is not to provide for it's citizens and only to take away their real freedom (the right to be completely selfish) then what good is it?
