On January 10, 1776, an Englishman and revolutionary self-pulished the pamphlet Common Sense:
"Society in every state is a blessing, but government, even in its best state, is but a necessary evil; in its worst state an intolerable one; for when we suffer or are exposed to the same miseries by a government, which we might expect in a country without government, our calamity is heightened by reflecting that we furnish the means by which we suffer.”
~ Thomas Paine
Wow, an interesting thought :(
