Is it demonstrable that there is no complete anarchy?

Not likely. Just look at Seattle, Portland, New York; etc., etc. Aren't they evidence to the contrary?

Are we talking past each other again?

Indubitably, don't you think?

In other news, what do you think of the current activity exploring Mars?

I think it's a good investment. Do you agree?

Will we eventually find a way to get off this rock?

I can't imagine us or mankind giving up on such an undertaking, can you?

What will we take with us when we go?

Maybe some warm clothes and enough food ... ya think?

Would we need other things, as well?

Wouldn't air and water be good ideas or at least a way to collect/create them?

Is this a good start?

Sounds like a pretty good start to me. Don't you think so?

Does it matter what you think if you're dying of lack of oxygen, starvation, or dehydration?
