And you aren't dependent? EVERYONE in a modern society is IMMENSELY dependent. This happens when people end up specializing in things, and decide to not do a lot of things for themselves. The issue is not dependency, but what people can do to contribute. The teamwork mentioned is needed and people need to contribute so there is enough to go around. Without an ability to contribute, it does become unsustainable. If you don't think you are dependent, then get off the Internet now, and go mine all the resources that the market produced so you can get on here, create your own language, and everything else civilization provides, and fend for yourself. |
Civiliztion does not eaual government. There is no need to be dependant on the government. It seems that is always the argument used by those who are for governemnt. they act as though nothing can be done with out the government and that society only exists with government backing. that is not the case.
It can not be teamwork when people are forced to help. Forcing peoiple to do things that they should be doing out of the goodness of their heart will only lead to resentment of the leechers, and than an excuse to not help others as it "the governments job" both of which we see now.
