"There are no truly FREE gov types. Only differing degrees of oppression."

What's the difference between freedom and oppression? The concepts are 
transient at best. I think you've just slipped into the absolutist trap.

You mention anarchy, and how it curtails freedom by forcing moderation in 
behaviour. However, you fail to mention it "grants" the "freedom" to use 
your shotgun at will. By the same token, an absolute police state will 
curtail "freedom" by taking away said weapon, but then "grant" "freedom" 
from having to kowtow to some kook with a 10-gauge.

Back to the drawingboards....
