I like anarchy. It seems practical. About as
practical as it can be, but it's always the security
and maintenance of common wants and needs that bring
governance. Yet, are these for large societies, these
needs and wants of governant actions? Security in
this day and age, sure governance seems necessary,
then Costa Rica has no standing army and meanwhile
nearby hostile countries exist. It's difficult
getting into particulars, it's like jumping off a
cliff with a parachute hoping it MIGHT work. Sure
some people wouldn't know what to do with themselves
without others to always have to be there for them.
Freeloaders are in tribal societies, too, but are they
really the problem? I've always said, if I wanted to
live off the land, I can't. Why? Well, I need to pay
taxes still. How will I generate the $ for taxes -
with maize? Here I'll trade ya. The biggest change
would be lifestyle, of course. Even now though, when
winter comes, I can't turn on my oil heater. It costs
too much. I use electric heaters. Now I have a son.
His room gets really cold in the winter. We'll need
to buy another electric heater. I'm thinking about
getting this one that supposedly will heat up from the
basement into the next floor up, and so forth. Ah,
maybe. I'll need to think quick though. It's July
and in two months it can start getting cold, in three
months possible snow, ah... but global warming I can
depend on that, right? I heard this group defined
Pittsburgh as the 'greenest city' east of the
Mississippi River due to all its' 'green' buildings
that have been recently constructed. This same group
said by the end of the century Pittsburgh will have
the same climate as Alabama. So, does it come down to
compassion and empathy? Are they the forces that can
change society into something more likeable? It is a
dynamic question, meaning, all the answers are not
really present yet.
