ANARCHY

[Sharkull]

Anarchy is such an ugly word I prefer to use "Place with no rules and everbody is free"

then you have a lack of understanding, friend

read Wolfe's book... and dream

Fixed.

hey now, uncalled for!

Just poking fun... no hostility intended. :) You admitted Anarchy isn't practical, and I consider unrealistic beliefs to be dreams / wishes / fantasies / delusions, so... ;)

I once spent a year living on an isolated small farm in western Nebraska, doing the whole Henry David Thoreau "simplify, simplify" trip... slept in an unheated log cabin on the property, traded my labor for that shelter and food, drew my own well-water and cut my own firewood to survive the biiter cold Nebraskan winter, and that's as close to anarchy as I'll ever want to come.

Yes, power-structures exist for uses both fair and foul... in the "fair" camp, there's things like roads, powerlines, communications systems, sewage and trash disposal (digging a new outhouse latrine pit in early March while the ground is still frozen is no picnic, lemme' tell ya'...), and I realized the results of government two years later while working in a hospital. There was a female doctor, a neuroradiologist, whom I had a terrific crush on (she was already married, destiny was not in my favor)... impossible to support such a being without a well-established social order and full infrastructure.

While it's nice to dream of the complete freedom of an anarchic state, and not having to kowtow to "the man" if you so choose, it's not worth the loss of an occasional chat and laugh with Tammie Benzinger over a cup of coffee.

 

My vote for organization and rule-of-law; that system comes with beautiful smiling women.
