HOBBES DESCRIBED WINGNUT (DYS) UTOPIA

Alan Grayson once noted on the floor of the House that "The Republicans want you to die quickly if you get sick." and at tonight's Bagger/CNN debate, some members of the audience were willing to let people die if they don't have health insurance.  Last week at the debate held at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library, "The audience first applauded when NBC News anchor Brian Williams cited the number of executions in Texas."  The Baggers seem to derive some satisfaction in the deaths of people they consider unworthy and given their hatred of government, that's not too many steps away from Hobbes' dystopia:

Whatsoever therefore is consequent to a time of war, where every man is enemy to every man, the same consequent to the time wherein men live without other security than what their own strength and their own invention shall furnish them withal. In such condition there is no place for industry, because the fruit thereof is uncertain: and consequently no culture of the earth; no navigation, nor use of the commodities that may be imported by sea; no commodious building; no instruments of moving and removing such things as require much force; no knowledge of the face of the earth; no account of time; no arts; no letters; no society; and which is worst of all, continual fear, and danger of violent death; and the life of man, solitary, poor, nasty, brutish, and short.
