I'm not sure you got your money's worth, to be honest with you!!!  ...  |
I'm not and english major. I used spell check on my papers. I graduated with honors from a well respected private college. Spelling isn't high on my list of important things. As long as people understand me, its really not that important. I'm not looking to get my posts published (unless someone wants to, in which case PM me and I've give you the thumbs up :thumbsup).

Both, however, are premised on clear (if informal) rules understood by all parties that prescribe roles, constrain behavior, and shape expectations. In the absence or Rules, you are left with a roomful of men without purpose, aimlessly shuffling about, bumping into walls, bumping into eachother and creating precisely nothing (besides nothing). Ancient cavemen even had rudimentary systems of rules and institutions. Nevertheless, I understand the romantic appeal of anarchy as an instrument of clarity and comfort in an environment perceived as indifferent and even hostile.

My scholastic area of expertise is phychology. History, philosophy, and government are more like hobbies to me, but I am not a novice. Anarchy is the opposite of enslavement, and there is not a bit of wiggle room in that fact. An anarchy is not a society, but the lack there of, therefore the rest of your post is based on an incorrect assumption.
Lone cavemen did live in anarchy. Lone anyone lives in an anarchy. Anarachy does exist and it can even be successful. If you read my posts fully before responding to them, we will be able to understand each other much better.
Look up anarchy in the encyclopedia for further info.
