Philosophically, I agree with a lot of what you say, and my household lives modestly while producing a lot of food. We even swap surplus produce for goods and services we can't accomplish on our own. I would strongly disagree, however, with your implying that those "consumptive, meddlesome, exploitative people" are not entitled to demand effective law enforcement. Whether you agree with their lifestyle or not, ALL citizens benefit from enforcement of laws protecting lives and property. Are you implying it's OK to steal from those people, or am I misinterpreting what you say?
