The History Channel Modern Marvels.....Beer....It turns out that they don't know which came first Beer of Bread....It was a was for long term storage of a crop of grain.

TheOne said:Only scanned this thread but it did start off so well!
Luckily for this debate (but not for the poor residents!) we do actually have a country without a goverment to compare what it would be like. Somalia is the only country in the world without a government and it has been like this since 1991: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/africa/country_profiles/1072592.stm
Not a very pretty picture.

Stateless in Somalia, and loving it
Filed Under: RRND Commentary
"Somalia is in the news again. Rival gangs are shooting each other, and why? The reason is always the same: the prospect that the weak-to-invisible transitional government in Mogadishu will become a real government with actual power. The media invariably describe this prospect as a 'hope.' But it's a strange hope that is accompanied by [...]
