Instead of taxes we have insurance. Instead of gov't we have agencies.

I am not an arnachist, even though I beleive there is no moral justification for government. But, there is an obvious difference between an insurance agency and government which you neglect. An insurance agency cannot force anyone to by insurance, a government always forces you to pay taxes. The difference is essential and moral, one works by offering you a value you may choose or reject, the other is the offer of, "your money or your life".

I don't neglect but I believe unrestrained the insurance agency will have at a minimum the same problems as we do with our government. An insurance agency needs to set rates, it needs to specify what is covered and what is not, it needs to spread the risk, it needs to be governed by some mechanism. All of these issues will be faced by whatever entity one wants to name it.

Its juvenile thinking that just because an entity has been renamed we remove all of the problems. The aspect that such an entity would grow into a huge repressive government is so basic to me I am overwhelmed that such otherwise intelligent people cannot project what would happen.

This whole anarchy idea is so off the mark from any sense of reality it is breathtaking. My only way to explain it is those who wish to use drugs without fear of arrest are willing to believe anything just to continue.
