After reading most of the responces I think most people generally agree with Hobbe's with a few exceptions. In my first post I explained the reasons why I mailny disagreed with Hobbe's, but after our last class I however changed my view on Hobbe's theory. I rememebered back to what Aristotle wrote about how if a man is not part of state or community, he is either beast or god. When Culley mentioned how terrorists are not part of community and follow no rules I realized how Hobbe's theory is correct. He says that all power must be given to one man or and "assembly of men." With just one man ruling himself he is victim to the six reasons that a man cannot survive without leadership. This is the case with terrorists. They have no fear installed in them, making them think they have the right to kill other people. This is why I agree with Hobbe's theory...for now.
