If this thread gets closed, then I’ll give up, but I’m going to say next: **Kozmik,** I _already_ told you how governments work. I told you here: [http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=15546995&postcount=65](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=15546995&postcount=65) Come on, dude, we’ve done this already. ---

Since \*\*Kosmik \*\*has been actively posting in several other threads for the past few days I assume we can conclude that he has no actual answers to the questions he’s been asked repeatedly and this thread can be closed. ---

Yeah, it’s pretty clear that the Anarch has no clothes. ---

I agree. I’m closing this, and **Kozmik** , I am notifying you that if you do this again, the threads will be shut down much faster and you may be warned for being a jerk or trolling. There’s not much point in starting a debate thread if you can’t or won’t explain yourself or won’t take questions.
