Anarchy isn't impossible. People seem to forget that Anarchy isn't a form of government - it's the lack thereof, so it can't work, nor can it not work. With such large, concentrated populations anarchy would be very unpleasant and would most definitely result in chaos, however, and especially so with our dependence on technology. Civilization and our infastructure itself is what would make things difficult if we decided to abolish all forms of government. Religion would kind of be a monkey wrench in the gears, too. As that has been used to legitimize authority for a very long time, that AND, more importantly, the control of resources. So bascially, if the population thinned to prehistoric proportions and we became nomadic again, we'd have a shot at living peacefully, perhaps. Or at least have the opportunity to feel a little more freedom. I hope I haven't repeated what someone else has already said! I didn't wait to read all of the previous posts! I apologize in advance. Just putting my two cents in. Anyone ever read any Daniel Quinn?
