We are the Borg... you will be assimilated!
Yeah. All that is quite logical, rational, and would make sense in a twisted sort of ideal. But you're not taking the nature of the beast into account- sure, it would make SENSE to eliminate sex. That doesn't mean doing it wouldn't still end up being the death of the species. People are irrational in the extreme, and the only way to understand them is to be able to factor in that something else, even if it isn't hard to understand. We're not math equations, or, at least, we are, and bloody complex ones. So complex that nobody quite gets the details of how we work, and only the most successful leaders have figured out how to work with us effectively.
You misread me. I don't think there are ANY "inherent rights" because a right is a privelidge given by the government to good children. The "right" to speech, in the form outsiders take it, is not a right, any more than being able to throw a Molotov cocktail at the pigs is a right. There's nothing to grant, because it can't be denied. The governments of the world try to, and that spells their eventual doom.
You assume, as most non-anarchists do, that we want to pick up the first gun we see and start shooting. Lack of a government FORCING people to be decent does not mean that nobody can on their own. Disorganized? The anarchist Yippie movement used to be one of the more highly organized, influential powers in the nation! What you see NOW is disorganized- a hundred million demoralized people trying to survive in a nation too wishy-washy to fully concede its own totalitarian rule, and thus secure power, and too greedy to be decent enough to die quietly. Everyone's miserable, most people, given half a chance, WOULD go start shooting everyone at random, and you can't get a group of people to agree on one set of pizza toppings, much less a political philosophy. In contrast, the "disorganized" anarchist movements of the 60s and early 70s were highly attuned to one goal, could talk freely and exchange ideas, and did as they pleased. They understood that not just ONE ideology was going to get anyone everywhere, but only that they needed to follow the same general goals of securing their personal freedoms. They lived, in fact, outside of the law, and yet were nicer to each other, by all accounts, than anyone in any authoritarian society. Disorganized? You really need to read up on what you're talking about. People are only organized when they can gather behind a common cause of their own volition, live together of their own free will. NOT when forced to get along by a quasi-dictatorial government.
And I never said the government should STOP people if they started killing themselves. I said that, if that was what the people wanted, the government should HELP them. Put good use to all those nukes in Nevada.
How 'bout if someone told you that computers and TV were deleterious to your mental health, confiscated all means of electronic communication, and replaced all TV programming with propoganda of the dullest sort? It's far from unlikely in any authoritarian movement, and probably the closest analogy I can find, knowing as little as I do about your habits.
