(video)</p> <p> The lively Greater Philadelphia Thinking Society discussion happened on December 9, 2012. (<a href="http://www.meetup.com/thinkingsociety/events/85461612/">http://www.meetup.com/thinkingsociety/events/85461612/</a>) Below is the description of the event on the Meetup page:<br /> <br /> Most discussions about government start from the assumption that we need a government, but is that really the case? Will society fall apart without it? At this Meetup we&#39;ll consider the issue using the following definition of government: an organization with a monopoly on the use of force within a specified geographical area.<br /> <br /> Arguments will be heard pro and con while alternatives will be looked at.</p> <p> <a href="http://theinternationallibertarian.blogspot.com/2012/12/is-government-really-necessary-video.html">http://theinternationallibertarian.blogspot.com/2012/12/is-government-really-necessary-video.html</a></p><div style="clear:both;"></div>
