I've read your article, but could you tell me what the advantage of individualist-anarchism is? If I feel free, how does that not make me free? I am bound by laws and that's ok with me since I have no reason to break them. So far I can see I have no reason to think I would become happier or free-er if I turned my back on the rest of society and lived in a cottage in the wood somewhere.<hr size="1" /></blockquote><span class='postcolor'>

tusaki,
The essay "Freedom on a Leash" wasn't written by me, the author is listed as Anonymous. If you've consented to "be bound by laws", then you've exercised your freedom of choice. You have acknowledged that you are under the authority of another. If that position works for you, if it's your choice then hey, I don't see any problem. I own 20 wooded acres in southcentral Kentucky and I just happen to like "living in a cottage in the woods somewhere"! In my opinion "society" has gone mad, the greed, the consumerism that grips this country is insane!
As far as "the advantage of individualist-anarchism" for me personally, by exercising my freedom of choice, not consenting to be governed I don't ask permission to do anything that I have a natural, inherent and inalienable right to do. I don't ask permission to travel (no driver's license), I don't ask permission to build a shelter (don't get building permits), I don't ask permission to carry weapons (don't have a CCW permit), etc. As I have posted, I have exercised the rights of a free Human Being for over 10 years now and have not harmed another Human Being, their rights or property. I attempt to conduct my affairs as a responsibile Human Being. I'm not a child (I'm 55 years of age), I don't feel the need to play the "mother may I game", I don't need to ask the nanny state what I may or may not do. I don't ask for "my rights", I have seize them, I exercise them, and I damn well will defend them!
