It is a mistake to assume that government must necessarily last forever. The institution marks a certain stage of civilization � is natural to a particular phase of human development. It is not essential, but incidental. As amongst the Bushmen we find a state antecedent to government, so may there be one in which it shall have become extinct. - Herbert Spencer
