I am rooting for anarchy, and this results in much hostility in some folks when I bring it up. As the 'system' protects itself, I am sure I'm on the million plus watch list. Lysander Spooner so long ago elucidated the entire racket of governments, voting for whom would coerce whom ...

When we were children, did we need established structures of control to run a lemonaid stand, to play pickup baseball, to ride bikes and explore the world? If not, then do we need them to build roads, put out fires, establish radiant communities or develop artistic and technological wonders? Where would the imagination and creativity of the human spirit and ingenuity lead if allowed to blossom?

Have we been massively conditioned to reject and/or fear anarchy as a reasonable alternative to 'isms'? Seems capitalism, communism, totalitarianism, socialism and such are equally as tyrannical as republican, whig and democratic parties are shades of the same.

Echelon and watch list bots, I say "Let's open up the game to Anarchism. Does the 'ism' addition make it palatable and legitimate? I will not riot, I will not harm, I will not steal, I will behave according to internal ethics, so how about removing the pesky external morality, it crimps my sovereignty."
