Just about every charge against theonomy can be also levied against practically every other system of law and ethics. And that way lies Nietzsche and Ragnar Redbeard and Thrasymachus.

Every charge against any government will eventually be proven correct, unless of course God has absolute control of it.
Whose theology do you choose to enforce, lets assume you are actually a nice guy, with a great attitude guided by Christ, when you die, who will replace you, do you honestly trust he has your kids best interest in mind - not his own. "We will use only biblical constructs"- awesome....but one says the scripture says nay, where another says yea, evident even within our existing church governments which unevenly, and in classic human fail mode eventually end up with a church split, worship war, or.....whateva
I can see how some of the more pastor pedestal-ing folk round here would be fine with their idea of a fire-brand, "women outta keep their place, dadburn alcahol drinkers, and people that like anything other than 4/4 time in the key of C, cause it dont use them evil black keys on th pianny, kinda music, why they is splittin hell wide open along with anyone that disagrees with us 4 and no more on anything from suits ta playin spoons on th poach" - cause that is what some of them love, evidenced by the responses here......
You really want them in charge of guys trained to follow orders, with guns, in charge of your life.
Batguano crazy - but hey. Sure why not, .....in any case it will still result in eventual civil/open war, a breif period of actual freedom, before the decent into some form of human madness, possible genocide, and wackery of epic proportion-
rinse/repeat.
No government of man is worthy of respect, for long.
No manmade construct of organization will remain free of corruption, for long.
Only God is perfect, thus only a govenment guided by himself will remain even good for any length of time.
