RE: What's in it for me?
Hm ... I am actually not against being governed. I like guidance and seek it from those I put my trust in or spontane exchanges which serve as a learning experience. Always investigating the advice for myself, testing if it works.
Thank you for the compliment.
Most people agree with you like I said via collectivism, socialism, communism, etc.
How do you mean that? I have trouble to connect the isms to happenings within my daily encounters and work. Mostly, I experienced talking about isms between a person and me led away from talking to each other ... kind of "outer-acting" instead of "inter-acting" :)
Growing Up:
People prefer being governed, AKA being baby sat and taken of care of. Now, yes, technically, it depends on the person, but I'm speaking in generalities. So, of course, there are variations and it can be very subtle as each individual may do things a little bit more and/or a little bit less.
Personal Independence
But government is always around us in different forms. So, I prefer self government. I want to govern myself within the realm of my own private property. When interacting with another person, I would prefer no third-parties, no middle men in trying to help us negotiate to the extent that we can.
The Legal System
Now, if I want to take another person to court, then I should have the freedom to attempt to do just that. But one of my concerns is when government goes out of its way to take me to court, to jail, to fine me, to destroy me. Make government smaller and smaller and smaller, as much as possible because government is always expanding and growing bigger and bigger when good people do nothing.
