I think Locke was a bit too idealistic. I don't think people are naturally tolerant, good and rational. I don't think that society was set up just because the state of nature was a "bit" insecure, the state of nature was nothing resembling peaceful.
I also don't think that people are naturally a social animal.
On the other hand, when it comes to the actual social contract, I like Locke's idea that we have natural rights. But I still think he was too idealistic.

I think he was a bit idealistic too, but I do agree with his belief that someone is affected by their environment.
