And if you're hoping to overthrow this country's government or its economic system, then we have a couple of labels that fit you, Pat. We've got "Traitor" and "Terrorist."
No, they call us patriots and seekers of liberty; same as Jefferson, Franklin, Henry, Washington, et al.

Think of it. Really. Think. A land with no police, except ones you can buy.
Instead of an all powerful one that you can buy? Exciting, isn't it? The fastest growing segment in security and law enforcement is private police. Today, right now.

Those police forces would compete with each other. With no regulatory oversight.
That's not true, they'd be regulated by their customers, like they are now, only not for a connected few. Do you, for one moment, think the police are dispassionate, non-judgemental automatons that don't respond to the people with money? Get serious.

Meditate on that for a moment. We can discuss the various unregulated sewer systems later. And other questions.
What are you talking about? The state does almost none of those things, or does them poorly and without oversight of any kind.

Fint......when Pat leaves, he might need your help getting set up in Greenland or wherever he goes. Good opportunity for you. We have a government here in the United States that needs our support and if someone in your position can't figure that out, then there's a problem.
Interesting, and not surprising at all, that you turn to the warfare half of the welfare/warfare state for support. It's not democracy you like, it's the brute force of the state with which you have the most affinity.

Typical.
