Government is a concept that many people simply choose to ignore on a day-to-day basis. It’s either too boring or too complicated or irrelevant for most people to get invested in.

I agree 100%. This is true for me and most people I know. School does a poorly job and explaining in dept what and who the government is. I like how you mentioned in your "Purpose of Law" paragraph who corrupted the government is. The laws that are placed are laws that should not be placed; however, they are placed for people with power to maintain their power. It is very powerful when you stated that plunder is dangerously becoming socially acceptable. It was true back then and even more true in todays world. When you wrote that people in power realized that they need to tax the rest to keep their promises, it makes you think if the origin of plunder derived from evil actions. The definition of plunder comes across as an evil act, but when we go back to its origin, it seems like it had to be done to keep the world upright. Makes you think how many other structures started off positively and ended up becoming more negative. I agree that it is silly to natural light, but I agree more with that it is a waste of materials which hurts the consumers. I love how you emphasized the thought that if citizens were left alone by the government then citizens would be left to help the less fortunate. I would like to agree; however, the government helps the less fortunate more than I may want to realize. Food stamps, free school education and public transportation are just a few ways they try to help out. It would be a very different world if citizens were left to help out each other with no help from the upper hand. I do agree however that it is narrow-minded to think that the government is the only entity. The government is such a small amount of people compared to the rest of the world. Which makes it more crazy that they have the say on what citizens may or may not be able to do. This is an outstanding paper and really helped me look at the reading through a different lens, which helped my perspective on the reding more broad.
