It's a tough call.
Just as the political theory of anarchy is a great idea, there is a reason the term turned into a pejorative.
I used to live on a boat, without health insurance, sailing across oceans, relying completely on myself and my partner and plan to resume that lifestyle very soon.
The question is, is that feasible for the majority?
Do you own stocks? Are you happy and feel pretty smart when they go up? Are snack makers among them? Do you feel responsible for people who have diabetes? No, of course not , they don't have to eat that garbage ...
It is impossible to live in any kind of bubble. Whether it is the plastic, overprotected one or the self righteous one.
Some people think, what right does this guy have to blow smoke in my face and some people think what right does this guy have to get on an airplane, car or whatever and use my (I am sitting in a third world country now) resources when I cannot even feed my children.
The interesting thing about laws is, that we all agree to abide by them. It always amazes me how few people vote in this country, because it is about their bubble and what it will look like that they can decide.
My feeling is that the niches that I enjoy living in are getting smaller. I guess other ones are opening up. I just might not see them or I got so mainstream that they do not seem like an option.
Enjoy Culebra!
