Anarchy: Slaves without choice

I have been sitting on this issue for a long time. Why is it that we as humans have to be governed, restricted, and owned as property of the place they live. I think every country has a lot of juevos to say that they own a large portion of the world, without question, and do with it whatever they want, changing laws to suit their needs.

Now, I don't necessarily mean individuals in power (though they aren't so innocent), but the systems of government themselves. Should humans be branded with nationalities and forced to abide by rules that they have no real control over? Do you get what I’m saying? There shouldn't be countries in the first place. We are animals, and we are meant to live free. We should not be forced to do the things our 'king' tells us to do, no matter the country or its leader.

On, this whole entire Earth, there is nowhere for humans to live free, by themselves, by their own rules, without someone else telling them how to live. That is true liberty.
In any country, there are laws regulating what you eat, how you live, where you live, your education, jobs, money, driving, where you can go or walk to, how you travel, how you act, how you raise your children, what you wear, what you say, and the list goes on and ON.
Every piece of land is owned by some government, with borders you can't cross without permission. That is NOT how things are supposed to be. If you want to walk down to Groom Lake for a (rhetorical) swim, you shouldn't be shot for doing it. There shouldn't be a military application there anyways.

I would gladly give up the limited security this or any country gives as a society to live on my own, where I choose, and grow my own food and raise my children how I want to. I realize we have laws and governments so that they can keep everybody in check and control how they live (i.e. slaves) so we can be 'safe', but is that worth losing the freedom of living?

I can't live how I want, and YOU can't live how you want. I was born into the American Empire less than 18 years ago. And I have no rights, and cannot think for myself without an adult telling me I’m to young to think. Yet they want me to pay taxes on my wage, and on my car, and then go and tell me I can't do this and that. That's bull.

Which brings me to the point of this Epic, does anyone know of any island out there in the open sea that has no flag planted on it, where I can live in true freedom and peace? I'd gladly move there as soon as my masters set me free.

Until next time,
Epic Wolf

Preview of next Epic working title:
"Existence: What is Purpose?

A lot of hunter gatherer tribes are anarchist or very close to it. You should read about the human transition from hunting and gathering to agricultural society. All I can recommend is just familiarize yourself with pretty much the totality of human history, what you are asking will become more clear. I think there are quite a few histories of the world out there. I can't recommend one, I haven't read any. I'm not saying I even know all of human history that well myself, but I've read enough disparate historical texts, that a somewhat clear picture of human development has come to me.

When you go from the tribe to city state or nation state, a lot of the hierarachy and undemocratic elements of so-called civilization emerge. For example, many hunter gatherer societies don't even have a concept of private property. Probably something similar to this was in the minds of the Native Americans who sold Manhattan for some wampum.
