Right, can we agree that "one's freedom ends where another's freedom starts", or however that quote goes..?
Okay, let's suppose we have a government whose only duty is to prevent people killing other people. Well, not *just* that, but also stuff like stealing and mugging and whatnot. That's what would be called not an "anarchic" state, but rather a "minarchic" state.
Well, I don't think it has to.

Quote:Some people start killing others. People defend themselves. People start organizing possies to better this defense. People start creating groups to control these groups.
