Social Contract - an implicit agreement among the members of a society to cooperate for social benefits, for example by sacrificing some individual freedom for state protection. Theories of a social contract became popular in the 16th, 17th, and 18th centuries among theorists such as Thomas Hobbes, John Locke, and Jean-Jacques Rousseau, as a means of explaining the origin of government and the obligations of subjects.
Other than this theory, what do you suppose is the purpose of government and the obligations of citizens?
Describe for us the utopia assumed by the Libertarian Ideology you seem to be in support of, and explain how such a theory might govern a nation of 300 Million diverse inhabitants.
you know if this social contract you claim existed actually did exist, we wouldn't have crime. we wouldn't have 16,000 homicides a year. we wouldn't have assaults, rapes, robberies, bullying, cheating, drunk driving, drug addiction, scams, corporate theft. this so called contract is a big fail. we're giving up rights and freedoms for this?
ok, hows this, since we are willing to give up rights and freedoms for state protection. Racial profiling is ok. demanding a federal id is ok. the patriot act is ok.
hey taintwallow your the side who wants IDs for voting remember?
And you're actually proud that you don't want ID's to ensure a fair & clean election?
