because some people like power and control so those in the gov grow that power by growing gov.

Doesn't work. People in the private sector like power also, yet they give it up to government. The strong and weak want government, everywhere.

people don't obey them by rote, have you've been on any highway ? you see anyone stopping before making a right on red ? see people's tax returns ? I burn leaves cut down live trees on my property, both illegal
of course they try a to regulate, that's part of the control some people like over others


OMG those are crazy, insane violations of "the government thumb". Revolutionary! I bet you drive 5 mph over the speed limit also! (At the same time your eyes constantly scan the road ahead for any change in regulation, or any sign of authority/police. You are a good little subject of government regulations, always willing to obey for fear of societal discipline).

we do it to a point, then we have 1776 and 1861

It's a good point. But then we institute a brand new government. "Meet the new boss, same as the old boss".

Where is the libertarian utopia? Why doesn't it exist if its compatible with human nature?
