Used to say?

That aside, even if you have anarchy, you still haven't done away with government. There may not be a governing body, but individuals will still govern themselves, so you haven't exactly done away with choice or consequences for actions if you have gotten rid of government.

If you're unhappy with government, then your best bet is to try and reform it; that is, in my opinion, the most rational way to approach the topic.
