[QUOTE="curiousbrain, post: 810271, member: 31608"] I take an axiomatic position on that; which is to say, I don't think there is a real answer to that paradox - there are attempts at solutions, but I'm not aware of (which, admittedly, is perhaps not saying much) any "complete" solution to that problem. In regards to my axiomatic phrase, I would clarify that by saying that I tend to accept that there are several assumptions about society, government, etc, that I (for the time being) accept as true and necessary for the state to function. That doesn't mean they are right in the same sense that it's "right" to say that humans need oxygen to survive, but then again I don't tend to regard socio-political things as having a right answer in that sense, either. In the context of the real world, my response to that question is that we live in a world of necessary evil(s) - the 'guardians' being one of them, I suppose. I will perhaps have to think more on this over the next few days; but, again, I don't believe there are factual answers to be found, only opinions which one might find more or less [dis]tasteful.
