You do not live in anarchy unless you live on a deserted island. You do not understand what the political theory called "anarchy" actually is.
Try actually living AS IF there is no earthly government having any jurisdiction over you. You will be in jail within a week, tops.

yes, i understand that we have different definitions of anarchy; i'm not paying any attention to the political one, and neither are...well, most Amish, or Mennonites, etc. Political anarchy is an oxymoron, i think; anarchy is not seeking recruits. This does not mean that i don't obey laws, that would be chaos. Of course it is legal to travel without a license or plates, etc, but this necessarily puts one in a position of having to be more legal than other drivers, not less.
I don't think the Amish go that far, and many of them vote, etc too, but trust me, there are millions of anarchists, lots of them right in your area especially. It might interest you to make the comparison to Theonomy, the chief difference seems to be in the area of sovereignty, if i may put it that way.
