	I agree that it is good for more government things to go private  
such as the schools and arbitration, but I don't beleive that humans can  
survive without government.  There will always be people who want to be  
led and people very willing to lead them.  It doesn't matter if the  
government comes from a group of power hungry buisnessmen or elected from  
the mass, government will exist.  Why else is there such a thing as  
government if it did not arise naturally?  Humans are very good at  
organizing themselves into groups, and to delagate responsibility out to  
members of the group.  I am all for more privitization but I don't trust a  
self made buisnessman more that I trust the officials that I elected.  I  
would rather have government making sure buisnesses and citizens are not  
harming others and the people making sure that the government isn't doing  
the same.  I prefer this type of checks and balences.  I don't beleive  
that...  Oh hell, I have to go!  Later.

      Good idea conceptually; now how do you plan to implement it - if we 
limit access to office to college graduates in certain fields, we'd have
a severe equal rights problem; if we had a test maybe....
      How would you validate a politician aptitude test?  Could you incorporate
psychological traits, so as to eliminate Nixon/LBJ power monger types?  But 
then there are those that say Lincoln suffered from chronic and severe 
depression.
      Most politicos today are lawyers, so that is obviously not a good
criterion.  Hmmm...how many of us native born types could pass the tests
that naturalized citizens have to?  I doubt I could without some study.
      I think the idea has been the locality selects its representatives, but
all the new media techniques have warped that.  The BBC has been carrying 
stories on how the recent Brit. elections have started to "go American" with
the spin doctors and media consultants and mud slinging... and they are 
saying it will be the end of British democracy......
      We do require people to pass certification to represent us in court, 
medically, even to be disk jockeys.  Unfortunately, I think a Politician's
board exam would be created by the current politicians (peer review and all
that), so would just perpetuate what we already have.  It might prevent some
state reps. from getting elected, but the real bozos usually never go further
than local or state office.
      It is the bright, elequent, evil, nefarious types that are a concern.
too bad we can't restrict them to this newsgroup :-).......

Organization: Oregon State University, Computer Science Dept.
Date: Thu, 16 Apr 1992 05:56:19 GMT

	I would have to vehemently disagree with the idea that anarchy
would be a better system than the one in place now.  Granted, the current
political machine runs slow when it runs at all; but, in the general case, 
almost everyone's needs are taken care of and relatively few people are
wanting for life's necessities (food, shelter, etc) [Please note that I am
not trivializing the problems of homelessness or hunger, just stating that
the vast majority of Americans do not need for much]

	My main objection to the previous post is the statement (paraphrased)
"...legal matters can be settled by private arbitration..."  In the case of 
civil disputes such as business matters and suits for damages arbitration may
be of some help.  But if I decide that you are a "have" and I am a "have not"
and I rob you of all your possesions, how likely do you think it would be that
I would accept a private arbitrator to mediate our "dispute"?  If someone
kills someone else, what good is arbitration?  Also, in an anarchist state,
you stated that protection would be a matter of hiring private agencies to 
provide your personal security; as long as you were willing to pay for it. 
What about people who could not afford it?  They would be living in a virtual
warzone.

	IMO, an anarchist state would be a modern version of feudalism.  Most
people would be forced to live under the protection of a "lord" who could 
afford to provide the basic necessities to sustain a reasonably secure
existence.  In exchange for all this, the "lord" would require some form of
tribute.  In essence, you anarchist state has degraded to a low level 
dictatorship ruled by a local strongman.

	When discussing alternate forms of government, it is important to not
only think about the ideal existence but also to consider human nature.  Most
people want to be chiefs and very few want to be blind followers.  In an 
anarchist state, some things might improve but I do not believe that the
improvments would be worth the costs to the average individual.
