So it seems you believe that a government is a monopoly on force, but think it's a good thing. a very interesting viewpoint.
How is that different from the famous quote [1] from 1984 about the picture of the future? I appreciate that this might be considered a slippery slope argument, but have you seen a benevolent monopoly before? I'm not sure I have.
