RE: The "Social Contract" Excuse

in #anarchy6 years ago

For a few years between 2008 and 2013 I would spend weeks camping in the desert of Nevada and not see a soul. It was the freest I have ever been. But with freedom like that, comes great responsibility. You get in trouble, there is nobody to get you out. So while technically that was inside the borders, the practical reality is that the law was nothing more than a piece of paper out there. Anything could have happened and nobody would ever know.

Sort:  

Maybe instead of inhabitable I should have said inhabited. Only in complete isolation do you have that freedom. If you are there and no one is ruling over you, then you are the ruling authority.
