America

Though all of you have agreed with Hobbe's idea that humans cannot not live sociably without a terrorizing government, i disagree. If you look at the United States of America today, we have become quite a successful country. After we won the Revolutionary War everything changed for the USA. Our country was founded upon freedom. People all over the world wanted to come to the USA and make something of themselves. Now this country has grown to be one of the most powerful nations. I agree with Hobbe's that many people are dangerous because of the freedom they have here. We still have a lot of crime including murder, theft, even terrorism. Though i dont agree that we cannot live together without a terrorizing government because looking how far this country has come having a democracy really stands out to me. Hobbe's wants citizens to have peace and security but i do not believe that they way to accomplish peace and security is with a "leviathan." If you took away peoples freedom, this country would go into an outrage and it would only cause more fighting between the citizens and the government.
