In today’s highly regulated, OH&S-obsessed, politically correct, sanitised world, sometimes we all need a bit or rebellion.
Welcome to anarchy. First world style.
Where the closest thing we’ve got to living on the edge is cutting up onions on a cheese board.

Do you have your own example of First World Anarchy?

I loved the seagull on top of the no birds sign.
This is the dilemma we are faced with. We elect governments to act in our best interest. They pass laws turning us into an over-regulated nanny state. We don't like it so elect a different government. They don't change the laws put in place by a previous government because it's too hard. We are stuffed and continue to be treated like idiots and have our civil freedoms dissolved! OH&S, plain paper cigarette packaging, alco-pops tax, the carbon tax, increased motor vehicle FBT, the GST.....do I need to go on? We need more power as a nation to live the way we want to live!
If you want more power to live without 'OH&S, plain paper cigarette packaging, alco-pops tax, the carbon tax, increased motor vehicle FBT, the GST', I suggest you abdicate from society and become a survivalist hermit.
Governments, laws, over-regulated nanny state? That escalated quickly. The majority of these pictures have nothing to do with the government. 'Keep left' is not a law. 'Place stamp here' is not a law. Neither is 'Stop wasting my blue tape.' You are not legally compelled to put mustard in the mustard pump.
You mentioned a number of issues that you consider to be 'dissolving civil freedoms.' Would you like the freedom to be employed in an unsafe workplace due to inadequate OH&S regulations? Would you prefer that alcohol companies had the freedom to intentionally market dangerous drinks to underaged kids? And the GST - would you like the freedom to be treated in a sub-standard hospital, attend a failing school and drive on unsafe roads because the government has collected inadequate tax revenue? Is that really 'the way [you] want to live'?
