    Well, governmentologists(as you call non-anarquists) believe in
    political science and economics which is based on reason not dogmas.
    Anarchic societies are utopic. Some sort of government is necessary to
    enforce justice and protect the weaker from the stronger. So far,
    open societies based on democracy, free trade, freedom and justice seem
    like the way to go.

    [Blunderov] Well yes - but I have some reservations. There are aspects
    that are somewhat less than satisfactory. There has arisen amongst us a
    class, the corporate entity, which enjoys all the legal protections and
    privileges of humans and yet it has none of the conscience of normal
    persons - they graze at will in our societies and their scats are
    composed of human misery.

    I'm thinking here, to give two examples, of water supplies that have
    been privatized beyond the means of the poor and the obscenity of
    free-enterprise prisons. I have come to the conclusion that some
    socialist mechanisms are probably a necessary component in any society -
    in fact I think I may be becoming a sort of 'neo Marxist'.

    So, I think I favor what used to be known as a mixed economy - a
    combination of the best of Socialism and the best of Capitalism balanced
    in a manner tailored to the society that it services.

    Just a closing thought - what if asylums for the insane were privatized?
    A situation would arise in which either the insane would be turfed out
    into the streets due to lack of funding, or a lot of perfectly sane
    people would be committed in order to keep the shareholders happy. Not
    good either way.

    Best Regards
