Re:Lawrence Lessig: How to Get Our Democracy Back by vannevar on Saturday February 06, 2010 @10:58AM (#1106307)
Once upon a time, charlatans killed people right and left because no one regulated who could claim to be a doctor. Once upon a time, a mob could ransack your house and steal your belongings because there was no law. That's why we invented government. Government starts regulating behavior whenever enough people are adversely affected by that behavior that they demand the regulation.

Rather than simply giving in to anarchy as you suggest, let's try to improve democracy.
