Hey, Irr, been OK, thanks, getting younger everyday. And you, how you've been?  |
Younger everyday? I know you're into fitness and good health, but getting younger? That's a curious feat. What, are you kin to
Benjamin Button? I kid, of course. Me? I'm hanging in there, but I'm definitely not getting younger.
Anyway, we sure have missed you here. Again, welcome back!

Irr, why do you think that anarchy would spread through out the world with self governance? Maybe that is the reason why religion and governments were created, to control people. Then, do you think that religion is OK? I mean, religions actually keep people restrained and hurdled, and so do governments.

I just don't think most people are good at self-governance, at least not entirely without outside encouragement. As a species, if we have an opportunity to run over the weaker guy and we can justify it (and we nearly always can), that's just what most of us will do.

Maybe religion and governments are needed to keep stupid/uneducated/savage people from causing anarchy?

I don't know, but I think there are an awful lot of people who tend more towards the stupid and savage than the mindful, considerate and noble. At least, when given the chance to indulge the former.
