    I answered this already.

    I want the fantasy world of Imagine....no countries, no religion, all the people sharing all the world, living life in peace.

    Don't you?

    A world in which there is no US government? No country? No borders?
    I don't want anything.

    In a fantasy world, I don't know how it would work. At this point in time, it's a dream. You may say I'm a dreamer....

    Yep, the state is a criminal organization.

    Not that we can do anything about it, other than spread the word.

    A great example of huge expensive government is the Dept of Education. They have approx 16,000 employees that are over paid and under worked.

    In the local school at 1:30 today when little Susie is having trouble with a math problem, the only person that is of any use to her is the teacher in the class room. The further the B'crats are from that class room the more useless they are to little Susie. What the hell use to little Susie is all those B'crats in Washington. The fact is all the money sopped up by those B'crats would be far better spent on the local schools and teachers.

    In TJ's time, Slavery was a system of tyranny worse then Stalin in his time.

    In 2019, media giants impose Totalitarian values.

    Very few people in Stalin's USSR or Mao's China were as unfree as slaves.

    Also, who will care for 44 million people with mental disability including the 10 million severely disabled people. How can a person without food, shelter, medical care be free?

    Being paralysed after a car accident is horrible yet not that rare. Leaving people in need without medical care is beyond inhumane.

    The charitable organization you start. I'm sure you and others will be super-concerned about the 44 million people with mental disability. I'm sure you have a spare room or a spare couch for one of them.

    Sure you can.

    Guys like you claim to want less government.

    But you stay right here...rather than going to where there is less government.

    Wonder why that is?

    Governments are needed for civilization and society to thrive.

    You people who want all that "liberty" you talk about could easily have it. There are lots of places on this planet where there is almost no government.

    You aren't going there...because most of you are all talk...no action.

    Baloney.

    Life was brutish and savage before government came along to allow for society and civilization.

    Very little government in the Amazon basin...in the Australian Outback...in Afghanistan...and places like that. People like you are not there, but live in a big government place like America.

    All talk...no walk.

    For most of the far-right lecturing on this...is like Limbaugh lecturing on staying slim.

    It occurs to me that most of the people I see calling for anarchy, are about the last people who would be able to survive anarchy.

    I once saw a picture of protestors at some sort of anti-capitalism rally carrying ANARCHY! signs. One of them was a big fatso dude riding a Rascal scooter, and another was a cute girl with Easter-egg hair that was about 5'2" and maybe 100 lbs soaking wet. I guess it didn't occur to these two morons that true anarchy would see the little girl rayped to shreds by wasteland marauders, and the fat slob kicked off his cripple cart, and roasting on a spit over a tire fire as Lord Humungus' dinner.

    Only a dumb hippie would picture a world of anarchy as some sort of peaceful utopia.

    Ah, you're equating anarchy with lawlessness. A common mistake, so no harm no foul.
