The whole premise of this guy is flawed. It’s “natural” for dictators to do what they do. “Natural” for rivals to kill each other. “Natural” to lie, steal, cheat, and kill when somebody stands in your way. “Natural” to riot when you’re mad.

If something being “natural” means it is good, then there would be no need for laws, since people left to their own devices would naturally do the good thing.

You think like the Founding Fathers. As Madison said, if men were angels there would be no need for a government. Within a constitutional framework of course.

This statement pretty much sums up the liberal mindset! They ACTUALLY believe, that if the human mind can think it up, then it is "natural" and okay to do! They really do not believe in good & evil - it is all the same with minor nuance differences in points of view!

They believe the old "one man's trash is another man's treasure" is the way the ENTIRE WORLD OPERATES ON EVERY LEVEL OF SOCIETY!

If men were angels, no government would be necessary. If angels were to govern men, neither external nor internal controls on government would be necessary.
