Well, there's a trend of threads based on clearing up the misconceptions of others' beliefs and I figured, since I believe in something most give up on before they're even mature enough to understand the concept, I could offer out some insight in what one who didn't give up at 17 is actually like.

I tried to, but, you're right, I didn't elaborate as much as I could have.

I don't want the control. I'm expected to follow rules I don't believe in, or see the point in. I'm expected to respect a man in a uniform even though he has committed the same crime he's harassing me over countless times.
Government demands absolute power. Absolute power corrupts absolutely.
The point is freedom.

For the first long while, I assume there would be chaos, but as people grew into it and only knew that way their whole life, I like to think we'd end up back into a very primitive state, such as wild animals live.
I think this is the way we, and the world, would benefit most from.

I have yet to feel belittled by anybody in this thread. As I said, I knew I'd stand alone on this.
Also, as I said in my last post, I see this work everyday when I see wild animals. They live in the state of anarchy I believe in, and that makes me believe this could happen and work.
