The purpose of government

It's to protect property, said Locke in the Second Treatise.

The perfect man and the perfect moral theory for the brazen bastards of the then rising class.

Not that I am not a political egoist.

But I am not such a blockhead as to think my personal interests, or the interests of those close to me, wholly subsumed under the money interests - or others - of my class.

Or race, nationality, religion, sex, sexual preference group, or irreligion.
