Ah, but once again, we come to a central theme of late: degree.
It's true, amny of these problems are prevelant already, but to what
degree.  Do you not see the likelihood of being shot tomorrow increasing
if the govt. was done away with.  The police don't do their jobs
perfectly, this is true (not that I blame them entirely for this problem
either).  However, how long do you think the L.A. riots would've lasted if
their weren't any such thing as law enforcement?  Granted, citizens might
have banded toghether to stop it, but what would have been the
consequences of that?  War in California?

Once again, this goes back to my central point.  A matter of degree.
