While anarchy has a certain allure, it has not successfully been sustained in a productive society that I know of.

Geoff, The war on drugs has had the same effect as prohibition did in the '30s. The offense just goes underground, becomes more of a legal problem, exposes users to more dangerous substances, and just makes them do more to feed their habit. Some people say that an alcoholic is that way because he has no will power, but I challenge them to keep an alcoholic from getting his whiskey. Then they will see will power to the max. Tammy Wynette took the keys to all the vehicles on her, and George Jone's estate, so he would not go and get drunk while she was gone. When she returned George could not be found, so she started driving down the country road, and 5 miles away from the estate, was his riding lawn mower parked in front of a bar.
