Thomas Hobbes, Of Commonwealth

I agree with Colby. The characteristics that the human race obtains can be far to dangerous with too much freedom. A leader of a state of some kind is needed to care for and protect our species and keep them in line to avoid chaotic actions that will eventually lead to war. The bees and ants Hobbes refers to do not share the same traits as humans, being less evolved, and cannot express the ideas and freedom of speech as we do.

I also concur with Colby's statement about Somalia. It is a perfect example of what can happen to our race if we do not have some sort of ruling or direction. We can be a very aggressive species sometimes when we are given enough freedom to make us feel above the law. Hobbes is just expressing his concern, as a considerate human, that our race needs a superior to keep us in line and prevent us for committing actions we will regret.
