>>Without law, is fear of a violent reprisal the only thing that would 'keep you in line'?

well... yeah. If not born into a society with established laws, there would be nothing engraining this idea that you may not take something somebody else is "using".



I'd be interested to see solid evidence supporting this theory. Without it, I'm sort of inclined to believe that people wouldn't settle into anarchist madness without someone telling them not to do that.
