I admire his tenacity
but I have looked into some of the links he's posted and his main ones, the Menard guy's pages, are ridiculous.

I couldn't read that without thinking that the guy is an idiot and has no real basis for what he is doing. he's given up his "person" and therefore doesn't have to pay taxes, drive with a licence etc.

the only way I can see that happening in this day and age is on the sufferance of those in charge. if it were a realistic thing that many people could do then someone would have shut it the hell down by now. a cynical viewpoint, but an accurate one I'd say.

and where would we be if everyone did basically turn their back on society? we'd be screwed.

it's an immature dream propagated by tinfoil-hat-wearing crazies. The Goat admits he got sucked in to scientology, he obviously can't think things through too much...

@Al and Ancrenne: I don't want to get drawn in to a discussion with him either and he might end up being my first ignoree too
