  1.  John Doe  Um, how exactly can everyone be self-sufficient, short of abolishing the government? Even farmers rely on the government. Subsidies to corn and soy crops, technology to increase yields, publicly funded roads to ship harvests, all come with the help of the government. There's no such thing as "free" if you think it means complete independence from the government. There was never such a thing, it was a myth. Created, ironciallly, to promote settlement out West. While the government couldn't reach people that far west back then, the United States is remarkably well-connected right now. Your objection to losing your freedom is silly— you already register your location and identity with the government (driver's license, social security number). What extra thing, besides your vague, unfounded feeling of independence, would you be losing here?

  2.  John Doe  You didn't answer the question. Even the website you're using now, YouTube, relies on technology developed by public universities and DARPA (govt agency). Why won't you answer? Are you really ready to live "free" and "independent"? No public roads, no cheap food, no farming tech, no colleges?
