Officials in Connecticut Stunned by What Could Be a Massive, State-Wide Act of ‘Civil Disobedience’ by Gun Owners

[Guest semiautots]

Tribal organizations are still "government"...just because they don't have big buildings doesn't mean they don't have a government...government is nothing more than a mechanism for people to decide how they will live/what rules they will live by. More the point today; a tribal organization isn't going to work in a country that spans a continent and has 300+ million people in it.

 

We'll have to agree to disagree.

How big or small and keeping it that way is up to the people. It doesn't change the simply truth that society must have government to function. Absence of government (which of necessity means the rule of law) is violence and anarchy.

What does government have to do with the rule of law? Our government has long abandoned operation by the rule of law and is almost completely lawless now. Rule by diktat and fiat is the modern MO. Only the thinnest lip service is given outdated ideals such as "rights" or "liberty" that belong to the individual free from infringement by the state.

The simplest, most basic government is the one that people can understand and live with optimally. All big government does is

control and consume. Those tribal governments are small and don't buy big buildings off the backs of others.
