    I'm familiar. Problem is government provides a tool to exponentially increase that negative behavior. Government amplifies the worst of us.

    Through government people have killed millions. Even "the best country to ever exist" (as 'Murica is often times referred) is complicit.

    Without government, no individual can eclipse this. It isn't logical to hand over a monopoly of power to people that have the same inclinations to which you refer.

    without government you revert to law of the jungle mode. And that would kill millions more and essentially destroy modern civilization. Now i can understand longing for the good ol' days, but I can't handle that much bullshit romance.

    Trump is incapable of testifying in the Mueller probe!

    Who is saying that? Trump's former defense lawyer, John Dowd.

    He said, "the president would become confused and make a false statement."

    “In my questioning him or talking to him, you know, first question, easy. Second question, easy. Third question, he wasn’t sure. And he doesn’t like being unsure. So he’ll guess,” Dowd said of his interactions with Trump. “There’s your trap, right there. It’s not whether he lies or not. . . . It’s not a matter of integrity. It’s overload.”

    Dowd is trying to provide a pathetic excuse for Trump's lying. The fact of the matter is, according to Trump's own lawyer, Trump is incapable of telling the truth. That is why he won't be testifying.

    Another Trump lawyer, Rudy Giuliani, has the same concerns about Trump's lying. He warned about Mueller’s intentions in questioning the President. “What they’re really trying to do is trap him into perjury, and we’re not suckers.” Giuliani also said, "Truth isn't truth."

    Imagine that. Two of Trump's lawyers are telling us our President can't tell the truth.

    History is inconsistent with your view.

    Do you deny that government focuses and monopolizes power?

    Todays super rich only got that way because of government.

    Wars that have killed untold millions of innocents and infringed upon the rights of billions of innocent were all wages by government.

    Name an individual that without government has surpassed that. I'll wait.
