mary,

I am not argueing against your posting, but think you might consider the following:


Freedom means the chance to make less than optimal choices.

Where are all those machines that do the work made? How are they powered? Who maintains them?


The "best" possible form of government is a benevolent dictatorship- the problem is keeping the dictator benevolent.

Who defines anti-social behaviour? you mean things like dancing, and drinking on sundays, and having all-night sings? Whose standards do we use, and how does that make the rest of us happy? How would you enforce the rules in your society?

Ever read a short story called " A Boy and His Dog" ?
