Doing what you're told by government and "authorities" (those people who know better how you should live your life than you do). So you are paying big money to have others tell you what to do. And working at least 40 hour weeks for 50 years taking orders from "The Man"
So leave the cities behind. There are plenty of places left on this Earth you could go and experience minimal interference from anyone. Hell, move to Alaska. There's so much free space up there you could have miles and miles all to yourself, AND you'd get yearly payments from the state government for your share in the socialized oil resources. Or if Alaska isn't to your liking, there's loads of free space in northern Canada, South America, Africa, China, and more.
Or make enough money to buy your own island. Then you'd be truly sovereign.
But I'm guessing you won't, because you probably enjoy having highways and electricity and sewage treatment and the Internet and fire fighters and 911 EMS services and all the other conveniences of modern life which are also paid for at least in part by taxes.
Never the less, that is your choice. There are a huge range of places on Earth you could potentially live, with a vast array of different governmental types big and small, choices in social arrangement, local services available, and more. The options might not be limitless, but they are definitely numerous. If you don't like the lifestyle where you currently are at, then take steps to move somewhere else where you might be happier.
And you are, after all, talking to someone who did exactly that.
Quote:GreatSpirit brought up a great, advanced topic. Too bad we couldn't have discussed it.
Dude, do you ever stop looking for ways to be a victim? No one is preventing you from having a discussion. It's a free board for crissake. Write what you like.
I mean, seriously... you even try to pretend others control what words you choose to type in an open forum. No wonder you feel like a slave!
