I think Holmes is quite correct. We need only to look to places on the globe where there is no government to speak of for examples. There aren't very many places where this is true, but these come to mind: Somalia, Tribal parts of Afghanistan and Pakistan, large regions of central Africa. Each is a place where the law of force is the law of the land, and none is a place I have a strong desire to live.
