Of Commonwealth

I as well would have to agree with Colby, Tommy, and Jason. Humans would be much too dangerous to allow complete freedom. The ability to speak that humans contain is obviously a benefit to living, but can also lead to many hazards things. I agree with Hobbes' thoughts to evil easily sounding innocent, for it's far too easy for a human to manipulate another, which is what causes danger. The ability for a society to communicate can only causes destruction. I also agree with Hobbes when he states how competition between humans only leads to disaster. Competition causes humans to have negative opinions of each other because each and every one wants to be victorious. Human's will do anything that allows them to lead to victory, therefor they take competition more seriously then it should be taken which creates envy and hated within their society. If creatures were only trying to one-up each other within their community like humans do, they would never be able to work together as a whole.

I would also have to agree with Colby's example of Somalia. Their country is far too dangerous only because their citizens are allowed so much leeway. If any other country was in the situation that Somalia faces, they would break out into violence and terror as well. Society depends on the authority of it's leaders, which is why it cannot live peacefully without it.
