People just can't be trusted to do it right.

"A California meat company is recalling more than 8.7 million pounds of meat in four states after processing "diseased and unsound" animals without federal inspection, federal officials said."


And the right wing party of "NO" wants to do away with government because we don't need it. Well this article just about says it all about the problem with businesses if they aren't monitored to do the job right.

I think we need to watch you...

Since, you know, people are inherently dishonest.

You'll find out just how people can be when you don't have any of those mean cops protecting your butt.

I know, Anti.  Just because there are a few bad apples out there you would think the whole world is crooked.  Everybody isn't.

See, this is the perfect Hobbesian outlook on man, typical of authoritarians.

And you say my outlook is grim.   

Pffft...I'm sunshine and lollipops compared to this outlook of yours, where every person out there is just looking for chance to screw you and, absent a whole standing army of the enforcement class hut hutting about and spying on everybody and barking orders, chaos would ensue.
