to which I say: WHERE THE HELL IS MY CHOICE TO LIVE WITHOUT A GOVERNMENT?

I am very curious what no government means to you, and why you'd want to live in a place without one. I mean, it's one thing to want less government intrusion, but are we talking less/no taxes, or are we talking no police department, no public schooling, no fire department. Where do you draw the line?

What is so difficult to imagine? People would shop for security, fire protection services and schools the same way they shop for anything else. The needy would be provided for by voluntary charity. We draw the line at the the initiation of force. Initiating or threatening violence is not what holds communities and society together.

If you haven't already I highly recommend reading the books by Ken MacLeod.

However the idealistic the dream the reality would probably put us back to the victorian age where the needy ended up in work houses and had to work for food but they didn't get anything else.  Just somewhere to sleep and food with no chance to improve their lot.
