[Voice of John] Do we need a government?

Christian Anarcho-Capitalist blogger Voice of John offers some great insight into asking Christians Do we need a government?

From the article:

Under anarcho-capitalism, government need not disappear. Instead, people could create legitimate governments, voluntary associations that pool resources for defense of rights. This is, after all, what Thomas Jefferson in the Declaration of Independence said a government was. Assisting each other in defense of liberty is certainly a legitimate activity; compelling others to participate in our scheme, however, is not. As the Declaration says, governments “deriv[e] their just powers from the consent of the governed,” and the governed should be entitled to “laying its [government's] foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.”
