Nonetheless, Golightly meant what he said. Other people looked down on his wording, calling it "TOMfoolery" because they believed him to be selling out their people. He was trying to help them understand that good intentions do not always get results. It sucks, I know, but it is a reality we as a coexisting society must oft face. Integrity means nothing to the honorless Golightly was struggling against. It's just a word to some people. Only action will truly change the world. Change it to what end... well that's another story.
So very true and very well phrased indeed.
Oh, to see the Changes

| I've been contemplating an odd concept lately. What if someone were to declare personal anarchy? This person, of course, would have to be well off financially. Then I'm wondering if there even is a process in filing to have yourself removed from being a citizen of any governing body. Now, if a country wishes to deport you, where are they going to deport you to? If this is seemingly implausable, than can one declare he or she is a government unto themselves? There will be paperwork of course, and a individual declaration of independence. You'd have to write laws for yourself, set a process that makes sure you impose these laws upon your own person, and make ammendments where ever necissary. Not that I'd ever do something this irresponsible, but I'm going to do a little research into its' feisiblity. What are your thoughts?

| Alright, did all the research I could come up with involving personal anarchy. This subject has apparently been a perceived problem by governments that some would consider oppresive to a fault. The closer a government is to becoming totaltarian, the more cases of personal anarchists there are. As the numbers of these few individuals rise, laws are soon instituted making it illegal to NOT be a citizen anymore. Some of these laws went as far as to declare their acts treasonous, although I am befuddled as to how. Exactly how is it treason when one wants nothing to do with your country, not even physical harm? I suppose I could look at it in the manner that you're making an example unfavorable to the ruling governmental entity. Still, that sounds to me like we hurt its' poor little feelings. Should one cry the government a river when you're bad enough to chase your own people off? This is some info from a paper titled "On Becoming A Personal Anarchist" by Spencer A. McWilliams...
The tendency of the state is to establish a system of statutory laws in which there is no opportunity for the more natural and flexible reliance on the basic principle of equity. Under anarchism the principle of equity would supercede statutory law.
Sarason (1976) summarized the central insight of anarchism:
1.The central state (and its governmental apparatus) by its very nature and dynamics inevitably becomes a force alien to the interests of its people, and the stronger the state becomes the more it enslaves people in the sense that they are required, they are forced, to do things they do not want to do, i.e., there is a dilution in the personal sense of autonomy. The rhetoric of the state is one thing; its actual operations are something else again.
2. The more powerful the state becomes, the more its people look to it as the fount of initiative and succour, the more is the psychological sense of community diluted. That is to say, the more the lives of people are a consequence of decisions made in "The Castle" the more they are robbed of those communal bonds and responsibility upon which the sense of rootedness is built.
A major implication of the anarchist insight is that any form which evolves to serve a human need must be entirely ad hoc in nature and must never be allowed to develop into an "institution." This notion has had a strong following among those Personal Construct Psychologists who have resisted the formation of a formal PCP organization, suggesting that it would come to have institutional qualities that would impede the natural evolution of the theory. Similarly, once an institution has developed it must be abandoned or "destroyed" to allow the more natural state of affairs to assert itself once again.
Although the concept of anarchy has most frequently been applied to political settings, its central insight that human progress is impeded by reliance on rules or forms may be extended more broadly to apply to such contexts as science and community psychology.

The population is the country....Doing harm by reducing it's number or opting out from participation could be considered treasonous....

It is not a form of treason to not pay taxes if you qualify for exemption status; and yet, it is harmful to the country and populace to not pay taxes as it over exerts those that must pay taxes.
NPO & NAI exempts according to the qualification forms.

| Look at at the systems of the world like communism, democracy, facism, etc. Are they not just a belief to facilitate cohabitation? But in reality have bred corruption and greed. ( and yes this is true in some churches but evil has little bounds) Now in many ways all these systems are good but only followed in all aspects. The best of all available systems I have seen is the one offered free of charge by God. If I live as a child of God I can get along with everyone except those who hate me because I love Christ and then its not personal, they're just serving a different master.
Now I ask you, ASSUMING you follow the system to the letter and believe it in its entirety, out of all the systems of the world, religious or secular, would best facilitate cohabitation and why?
I kinda like star trek where nobody works anymore
well, the star trek model is based on communism.
NO ONE type of governance is best.
what would work best is a blend of socialism, capitalism and democracy, all 3. we are evolving there.
you are mixing the spiritual world with the caesar s world to borrow jesus analogy. and although you have to live under some form of government to survive , and jesus says we should, as do the other prophets, not break the law because it causes problems, we should put Gods Law of doing what is right above all laws. to do other wise would be to sin.
another thing I want to point out is that you have listed many forms of government, but each subsequental creation of a different type of government happened because the previous one was inadequate and the people revolted. or they were conquored and forced to change. either way, they all failed, and they failed because power corrupts, and absolute power corrupts absolutely.
government is about control, and control is power. whenever one person has power over another there is the risk of corruption.
no matter what form of government you live under, jesus' principles are supposed to be followed first, because they are based on truth.

| I took a hit early because I said cohabitation and not coexistance but that aside I like Christianity. If we all followed it to the letter, no one would hurt anyone. Everyone would love one another. God would be happy. No one would be hungry because we would feed those less fortunate. Everyone would forgive one another. Fantasy island, yes but it was my fantasy.
