Historically, that's true. But I think in the present dayhe could at least manage to have a car with a great deal less government.

Maybe so.I have no love for Blair and co. Just playing Devil's avocado.
But seriously, I don't think mass-production, oil refineries or motorways would exist without government and taxation. Whether this would be a good or a bad thing I'll leave up to you, but the desire for cheap fuel and smooth roads seems to jar with any anarchic tendency.

Depends if you mean the kind of anarchy in which people behave pleasantlyand build things, which is something we don't yet have the necessary cultural institutions to maintain, or the kind in which people rob each other and wreck things, which is what we'd get if government abruptly vanished. Sort of like glastonbury the year I went.
