And what, exactly, keeps that company from taking money from the both of you and not answering the phone?

I'm sure that will result in voluntary handouts surpassing the obligations we now face as citizens. No doubt the generosity of human spirit will fund not only police enforcing non-existent laws (because remember, we're talking about no government, no legislature, no laws), but will also help to pay for roads, firehouses, ambulances, and so on.
You cannot have your cake and eat it too. A "dispute resolution organization" could just as easily be a scam and you'd be none the wiser, taking your money and moving on. Explain why this is a different organization than, you know, a government. At least with a government, I've got firefighters willing to put their asses on the line to save my son or wife.
I'm of the opinion that so-called "anarchists" are folks who like what they have and want more, but don't understand that there ain't any free ride.

Good lord, Tizh. What exactly do you think enforces the morality ?
That's right: Religion .
Now, allow me another question: how do we define secularism?
That's right: the lack of religious influence in society.
Please, be clear and precise. How do you propose to pass and enforce Morality without a Religious authority operating?
Anarchy is, by definition, immorality-- with everything that implies. Feel free to point me to any one single example of a successful Irreligious society . I'll be happy to point you to failed examples.
Or I could take this final line and rewrite it as
Feel free to point me to any one single example of a successful flying machine before the right brothers . I'll be happy to point you to failed examples.
Rather, how about you answer my questions as I asked them, which is what someone expects from an honest person?
If you cannot answer them, say "I don't know" -- but this twisting of words is horseshit. You and I both know it ... but only you think it's right. We are talking about governance, not religion, yet you're making a base appeal in order to shore up a failing argument.
Sociology is not the physics of flight. I'd recommend you think a little on the issue before you post again.
