Reader Submission :: Government: Personal Statement

My personal response to the prompt: “Write a personal statement expressing your feelings toward the U.S. Government.”
 What are my feelings on the U.S. Government? In my personal opinion it is simply unnecessary. The government isn’t necessary, so why have it at all? Why restrict freedoms with laws, and pay for a system to be put in place, when it preforms no vital  function in society?
I believe that a society can be fully functional with anarchy as a system of order. I have seen anarchy work in person. Anarchy would not only work, but flourish, if human beings would simply cooperate in peace and mutual respect instead of trying to establish control and superiority over one another.
Throughout human history, the longest lasting period of government style was, in fact, no government whatsoever. Even today countless communes, tribes, and organisations function without any sort of formal leader. All anarchy is is a different way of organizing things, one with more freedom for the individual.
