The government exists to protect the rights of its citizens, not to enforce social convention or impose your particular concept of duty. You are postulating a "Government" that nobody has ever lived under, Steven. Ours is a "Gun run" system. Behind every law there's a gun. If you don't think so, get a speeding ticket and push it. A Policeman will show up at your door. And pull out his gun if you refuse to obey him. The "Rights of Man" was an 18th Century Philosophical error. Where do we get these "rights?" From some Bearded Old Jew up in a Mystical heaven? Nobody really has any "rights." You have you, and the Universe. And what you can make of it.
