What side of the road do you drive on? Who paved that road, and maintains it? When your house catches fire, who comes to put it out? When someone wants to shoot you in the face with rocksalt because you don't believe in their god, who restricts their ability to do so?
I don't like anarchy because it's a recipe for might-makes-right, I-got-mine-you-get-yours bullshit. People are generally assholes, and it is the social compact that allows us to live together without choking the living shit out of each other.
Laws are like the precautions on merchandise you buy ("do not drop this toaster in your bathtub while you're in it") -- they exist because some asshole somewhere went and murdered someone, or molested someone, or bilked someone -- or some asshole accused someone of murdering, molesting, and bilking and took justice into his own hands.
If you want lawlessness, move to Somalia, and let the adults run the country here.
