As a guy who'se flirted with the ideas of anarchy, I may just have to move back to CA to participate in it! That wonderful initiative process they have allows the citizens to vote on every tax increase - guess the result!

We may be seeing in CA Grover Norquist's dream of being able to "drown the government in a bathtub" coming to pass. Will CA be the first state to say, "bankruptcy's not so bad", and take the plunge? Once they're in for a penny, why not just eliminate ALL taxes and go for the pound?

I'd like to see anarchy tried just once, preferably where I'm not living at the time.
