Not for food, no. But just look around at the bumper stickers people have - "Some people are alive only because it's illegal to kill them" is one of my favorites. I've traveled all over the USA and all over the world, and I can tell you that while there are plenty of nice people in the world who wouldn't hurt a fly, there is also an unignorable quantity of vicious, insane, or downright psychopathic people who would kill or worse at the drop of a hat.
People who believe that all problems would vanish with the destruction of government make me laugh. PEOPLE are the cause of problems, not government. Government is merely a construct created by people.
