The problem is, any "good" idea - freedom, community - will eventually get hijacked by a vested government interest. For government, the ideal way to do this is to get the two sides so pissed off at each other that they don't realize a third party is fleecing both of them.
By the way, a lot of the disagreements I see here between Box and a lot of people come from the fundamental disconnect between urban and rural communities - a lot of shit that's acceptible rurally just won't fly in an urban area, and vice versa. It's great to be able to do whatever you want when your nearest neighbor is 10 miles away, but when he's 10 yards away it gets a bit different.
I'd make the same comment about "conservatives" - that they just want to take away our freedoms - but it's not really the "conservatives" or the "liberals" who are trying to do that - it's the extremists on BOTH sides doing power grabs.
