That hardly matters if lots of other people do.
- baddox 13y agoI'm not interested in a semantic argument. My arguments that mention government are, obviously, referring to my own definition of that term.
- lotsofmangos 13y agoHave you clearly defined this definition anywhere, so that it can be consulted to find out what you are on about, or are you winging it?
- baddox 13y agoI gave it a shot in this comment: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7437083 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7437083. I think this description fits pretty well with most people's idea of what is and isn't a "government," although most people probably have never tried to explain their own internal definition.
