Anarchy
Nature abhors a vacuum.
Something always rushes in to take it's place.
History shows us that the customary successor to anarchy is totalitarianism.
The weaker must be protected from the stronger.
"Might makes right" is the law of the jungle.
Civilized nations strive to create an environment where "right makes might."
If the law of the jungle prevails, then the biggest criminal will be in charge.
Rule by the biggest criminal, and totalitarianism, are exactly the same thing.
This is WHY "NO GOVERNMENT" LEADS IMMEDIATELY TO "TOTAL GOVERNMENT".
Protective associations become criminal enterprises.
(The mafia, and the Ku Klux Klan are examples).
The age old question, as always, is "who will protect us from our protectors?"
The complex system of checks and balances,
and the division of the power that is needed for the providing of protection,
is the system called a constitutional republic.
A constitutional republic DOES work, but only if the people defend it with
less effort than they would exert, in defending themselve, if there were no
government.
but as always:
"The price of freedom is eternal vigilance."
Thomas Jefferson
"The battle for freedom is never won, and is never lost.
The battle for freedom always continues on."
John Perna

that anarchy always leads to more government.
In any event, I urge all of you to attend the LP National Convention
as delegates and look forward to meeting you if you are able to do so.
For life and liberty,
