What would you say to someone that didn't want to be a part of this society anymore?

[/ QUOTE ]

What society? If you're talking about an AC society, I wouldn't say much of anything, just like I don't say anything to someone that doesn't want to eat broccoli anymore. Stop eating broccoli.

Or a group of people that wanted to be governed?

[/ QUOTE ]

Go for it. Get together and govern yourselves. Have fun. Just don't subject anyone else to it.

It would be destined to happen, since there will never, ever be 100% agreement among any large number of people. What would you say to these people?

[/ QUOTE ]

"Hi"? I have no idea what you want me to speak to them *about*. The reality that people have different preferences? How about "congratulations, you're now free to pursue your preferences without anyone else making decisions for you or telling you what to do."

Are you seriously arguing that since 100% of people can't agree on anything 100%, someone should step in and force all of them to conform to an arbitrary decision?

Actually, I wasn't arguing anything. I was simply pointing out that if a large group of people get together and make a decision about what type of society to live in, there will be unhappy people. Simple enough. For instance, you're one of those people. People with your opinions make up an incredibly low percentage of the population.
The same "Fare thee well" can be used on ACers. Get together, go off somewhere, and (not) govern yourselves. The vast majority of people don't see taxes as Big Brother holding a gun to their heads, and they're more or less happy with the system. We want government. We like government. Some feel they need government.

I'm really trying to understand AC because it sincerely intrigues me. I just don't see the point of telling a bunch of people that they're oppressed when they clearly don't see it that way. You obviously do. You're in the same situation as the person(s) that didn't want to be in the AC society, only difference being you have an oppressive gun to your head. What's to stop us from saying the same thing? Get together and go somewhere else. I don't know if I'm coming across as rude; I'm not trying to. I guess I'd just like to hear your response to those who would say "We're happy with government, go away."
