In the state of nature man is free to live simple, peaceful, harmonious lives! They fish, hunt, and live without pride or vanity." Hobbes: "Wrong Rousseau! In the state of nature if get a fish you are immediately clubbed in the head and your fish is stolen!" Rousseau: "Wrong, no one steals because they have no concept of envy!" Hobbes: "In the state of nature you can't ever have a full English breakfast because someone always steals your black sausages!" Rousseau: "In the state of nature no one will eat disgusting English blood sausages because they eat fresh fruit right off the tree!" Hobbes: "There is only one way to settle this, we'll visit a primitive village and see for ourselves whose theory is right!" Rousseau: "Fine!" Hobbes: "Fine!" Hobbes: "So?
