   Anarchy = absence of a monopoly on force   
      
   Suppose the *community* decided it was proper to kill all persons under the   
   age of 10 to save resources, would it be OK to opt out of that?   
      
   In the span of being born and dying I cannot think of one thing an individual   
   should be prevented from opting out of.   
      
   My overall belief is that no one gets to force another to do their bidding.   
      
   There's a name for that, and most people will say they abhor it, but when you   
   change the name to something like, oh, let's say "democracy", suddenly   
   simpletons somehow get a lesion on their cerebellum. go figure
