State of Nature

Do you think a state of nature could ever work? Like what if for some crazy reason we went back to being nomadic. Do you think we would form civilizations and governments or would we find a way to live peaceably on our own?

John Locke on Slavery

One thing that really shocked me in the reading from THO was Locke's emphasis on how "all people are naturally free and have a right to life, liberty, and property" (327).  Given this, what do you think Locke's view on slavery would have been?  Would he have found it unjust because it violated the slaves' natural rights? Or, because he did live in the 1600's in England, would he have shared the common belief that slaves were not really people and thus did not apply to these rules?
