Don't care who said it. Any society dependent upon the government for their health and wealth is doomed.

The killed Socrates for saying it...and Athens still lays in ruins. Rousseau saw govt like a tree. It has seeds, branches, roots, and like a tree, eventually dies. Govt is especially doomed once it declares itself eternal he said. They are all doomed.

"...to secure these rights, governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, that whenever any form of government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the right of the people to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form..." -- excerpted from the Declaration of Independence, 1776

Gotta give up love for that

Actually something Socrates said, no surprise it would trigger you.

Yeah, okay, that's pretty awesomely cool hat
