A corrupt government is better than no government at all, or even a weak government. Look at what happened when Saddam Hussein's regime was toppled. Has Iraq improved? No. It is more dangerous than ever. Their economy still hasn't recovered. Persecutions of non-favored religious groups has increased exponentially.
When you remove people from power or institutions of power, there will always be a power-hungry person to fill in the vacuum. And until the void is filled, chaos will reign. Would we rather have freedom to do whatever we want? Well, guess what, so do other people. They want the freedom to steal our things. Who will protect us then?
That is the chief purpose of government: to keep order and punish the people who do wrong. The solution is not boot out the government. The solution is to change society. We have rejected God's principles--the only definitive standard of right and wrong, and replaced them with our own subjective standards. That's why you have corruption. Our politicians are mirrors of ourselves. We get poor choices for candidates because we only care about whether the economy is doing well, not about whether the person in office is a person of moral character that can guide the country with strong leadership and wisdom.
I don't know much about Adam Kokesh. He's probably a nice guy with lofty ideals. But abolishing the government, as great as it sounds in theory, is a bad idea. We need to return to the constitution, and give more power to the states, like we had at our nation's inception.
As it is, we have deviated from it for the last two centuries and that's the problem.
No, anarchy is not the answer. If you get anarchy, you will live to regret it and so will your children! If anything, hamstring the overarching control of the Supreme Court. Don't get rid of it, but the judges do have too much power, when they try to legislate from the bench.
Spot on brother ! Thank you for providing a little common sense to the discussion ;)
