"What right do certain individuals have that the rest of us do not, that they might affirm their own authority as being ranked higher than our own? What right does anyone have to form a government? We have no need to create institutions with a monopoly on the use of force. Individuals who have freely organized themselves into various small groups could easily unite, if necessary, to defend themselves from aggressors. Hierarchy, in spite of its inevitably well-funded, well-propagandized claims to legitimacy--and in any of its more subtle, camouflaged forms--is old-fashioned, outdated, and generally counterproductive in the pursuit of human happiness." --Me
