I have a state reitiremet and 2 million in health insurance plus medicare. I can replace my whole body. The democracy did not replace the tribe. Having the tribal leaders command that teh tribe take care of the old (to keep their wisdom) and the hunters need to share their kill is not stealing. It is in the best interst of the whole, the tribe. We evolved as social animals. The individual can leave the tribe. He will not last long without the tribe to protect him from the cave bear, or heal and feed him when injured or give him friendsip. You are a member of a tribe and you have responsibilities. In return the tribe protects you. You want your protection for free!!!! You view the world through black and white glasses that have little to do with how I view the world or how I believe society should operate. I believe that my views more closely match those on which this country was founded. Granted, the philosophies on which this country were founded are vastly different than the rest of the world, but I believe they are just and right. I am not a statist. It is apparent that you are (or a "tribest"). I believe that the state is here to protect my rights. Not that I am here to feed those who make up the "state".
