This is an interesting point. I'm not really sure what it's based on or what exactly you're implying though. Care to elaborate?

Short answer:

Try to take the toy of a 3-year-old away and find out what the kid does and what it implies.

I happen to disagree and here is why:

Put 1 year old with a toy in a room with a 2 year old with no toy (or his own toy for that matter, maybe even a whole pile of his owh toys lol) and see what happens and what THAT implies.

It implies that people are, from the start, self-serving bastards that will step over the rights of another to aquire what they want. That they don't value anyone elses freedom/suffering so long as it doesn't either effect their own happiness or is right in front of them.

It sounds like government to me. If this is truely human nature, why on earth would I want to grant someone (or a group of someone's) to be in charge of my toys? They already want to take them and I am supposed to want them to be in control of my toys and believe it's good for me?

The government is the Devil. lol
