[/url]How does self-sufficiency equate to ending the DoL?

By definition, perhaps? One is either self-sufficient or interdependent.

If you haven’t already, I strongly urge you to read The Ultimate Resource.

In the video A Tale Of Two Revolutions (posted by John James here), narrator Bill Whittle makes this statement:

Now, although the phrase “the noble savage” is often attributed to Rousseau, he never actually in fact used that term, but he did believe that man in his natural state was a virtuous creature, and that all of the wars and conflicts that have arisen were merely the inevitable result of people staking claims to property and ownership that primitive man never envisioned, let alone practiced.

It seems to me that this is essentially what your belief is.
