    I agree with the general concept, but if it would have left out "lawful right to violate you" it wouldn't need the cite. To me "legitimate" and "violate" are as subjective as "wrong". The extent to which I agree with the opinion depends on what the terms mean to me.

    It seems to me that this simplistic syllogism would lead one to the conclusion that all government is illegitimate because regardless of the type, a government is a group of people enforcing its dictates on other people.

    Personally, I like government locking up dangerous people who break laws....however that graphic does not allow for that as a legitimate role of government because even a law against murder is a group of people deciding its bad and "violating" someone who thinks he had a really good reason to kill someone.

    Don't the logic geeks call that the undistributed middle fallacy?

    Here's the way it looks to me:

    A group of people enforcing its will against you is wrong
    All governments are groups of people
    Therefore, any government that enforces its will against you is wrong

    The problem is that the first premise is a false premise, from my perspective.

    A friend once said intelligence is inversely proportionate to the number of bumper stickers on your car.
