Being somewhat of a history buff, I can't help but to think back to a time before technology became such an important part of our lives. The early 1900's come to mind. Life was more difficult than it is today, but communities seemed to be closer, where people actually cared about one another.
Would I push the button? Maybe.
I've often figured I was born too late. In studies, I once came across a statement I had to ponder over. Now I wonder about it again periodically over a Coke and reflection. In the 1800's, it was possible to be born, live, marry, and die and except for filing a property claim or grubstake - never having any interaction with any governmental structure. Can anyone imagine such an existence? Does it terrify you? Or do you think you could manage?
By rights - that is the definition of Anarchy - per Merriam - a: absence of government b: a state of lawlessness or political disorder due to the absence of governmental authority
Wow, what a concept.
I think I could survive. My family survived the Depression by bartering. All my neighbors and friends - we take care of each other.
Go ahead - push it - but you'll have to ride over to tell me since I won't be missing my cell phone (but I'll miss this Forum).
