[MD] freedom is for the rich

[Micah]

Laird,

I don't care for social structure. The odd thing is, as we become more
civilized we get more laws, which is backwards. I don't feel the need for
supervision.

Micah

Mmmm... Your request added in an extremely tenuous condition. living
free _in_America.

I characterize your view of freedom to be a fairly extreme perspective
(taxes are tantamount to slavery, etc)... but at the same time you're
asking for a means of maintaining this rather-extreme freedom while
living _in_America - within a social structure (rules tantamount to
slavery). Living within the social structure of America is quite
voluntary - it doesn't take much to move 'off the grid', but at that
point saying that you live "in America" seems rather academic. Sure,
you're within the geography of the nation but not within its social
structure. So I have my doubts that your question is even answerable,
based upon its implied conditions.
