And your idea of a great life is the way it is currently?
What happens if your livestock gets sick and dies? What happens when there is some sort of infection in your crop and you lose all of it? Or bad
weather?
I assume your talking about a completely anarchistic society, if your crops die or animals get sick you can hopefully rely on your surrounding
community to give you a helping hand, if not i suppose you'll go hungry and die.
Are you going to take your car somewhere? Who is going to build it? What roads are you going to drive on to get your food? Get rid of your internet
while you are at it.
Cars havnt been around for ever, didnt we get along fine before they were around spewing toxic fumes into the atmosphere?
BTW i own a car but it doesnt even run, i ride a bike or walk.
And i would gladly get rid of the internet if i lived a farming lifestyle, i only got a computer about 6months ago because my girlfriends father
bought it for us, we have the internet, i enjoy the access to information so i use it. simple.
Dont make the assumption that im someone who cant live without it.
It is ironic that some of you preach of a farming life style, but I would be willing to make a bet that you live FAR from it, and are not willing to
even try it.
Me and my girlfriend are saving every dollar we can so we can one day purchase a property and get out of this current lifestyle.
Lets discuss money again. People want it more than everything else because it IS the ultimate bartering item. If you have 10 tomatoes, or 5 dollars,
your selection is much wider with the 5 dollars.
In western society money is pretty much the only bartering item, have you ever tried buying milk from the supermarket with 10 tomatoes, dont think it
would work.
And thats beside the point, if it is JUST a bartering item why do people even when they have everything they need still pursue it, still want more of
it, even if they dont need it?
So yes. Cops, forensics, jail, etc, are deterrents.
I never said they werent deterrents, i said they werent very good ones since crime is still incredibly widespread, yes they may deter trouble makers
but it will never deter someone desperate, and jail is definately NOT a deterrent for a career criminal.
It has been awhile since I read the book "The Lord of the Flies", but this is what I picture when I think of anarchism.
Good for you.
