The idea of anarchy wouldnt work really if you think about it.  If the 
government was to be overthrown, there would be chaos and luteing.  Humans as 
a species have been led somehow to a scavenger type mentalitly.  Many humans 
would see this as an opportunity to rise to power.  They would get scared 
people, who think it will better them, to fallow them. These groups of people 
would then take consume the rest of the nation, and eventually we'd be many 
seperate "governments" at war with one another.  These wouldn't be democracys 
either.  We would be under the rule of dictatorships.  That is why many of us 
don't necesarily want to overthrow the government.  Some want to change it, 
and some want to make it optional.  Not everyone on this list is even 
Anarchist.  At least they weren't several months ago when I left the list.  
Just beccause we're all on the same mailing list doesnt mean we all think 
alike. Wouldnt that be boring???
Chaos
