Right. Thanks for that. (I have an old friend named Gibbons, got my wires crossed).

I just happened to be re-reading “The Postman” this week while I was on vacation and remembered this. I’m going to go with David Brin, but it’s possible that he was quoting someone else, too.

It’s actually more ironic than that. We establish government in order to protect ourselves from the tiny percentage of sociopaths and psychopaths that are emergent from humanity. To this end, the government is granted the exclusive use of force. That power is a magnet drawing the same deviants into government “service”. The whole government eventually becomes infested and consumes the society that it was established to protect.
