    We got along just fine as a species for millions of years before government took over our lives.

    When humans still functioned as tribes (before civilization), there were no forms of centralized government like we have today.

    Modern homo sapiens are roughly 350,000 years old and didn't leave Africa until around 185,000 years ago. We've been killing each other off since the beginning of time. The myth that indigenous people lived in harmony with nature and each other is a complete fantasy. There is plenty of evidence to the contrary.

    What? You've never heard of a tribal chief or elder? All groups of people had leaders which acted as their government. Even small bands of hunter gatherers had people in charge.

    Not sure about that. I am afraid that so far back, nobody among us would have liked it. A stronger group of hairy men would come with sticks and steal all the women from the camp, while we were hunting.
    I am not much into zoology but If I am not mistaken monkeys and wolves have their leaders of sorts too. Ants and bees have their queen. For good or worse, there is always something, in nature, usurping power subduing the rest.

    I never said we didn't have leaders. However, we did not have forms of centralized government like we do today. There's a difference between governments and tribes.

    How shall we start this new year?
    A few juicy loads out of Chicago going to Baltimore MD - my favorite in 2021. Offering to pay 4 dol per mile from the very listing. No slow down yet?

    Chicago - Baltimore:

    Is that right?! It is cold, white and sunny in Chicago today. It must have all gone east.
