It looks to me like you have things backwards here.

The anarchists in general, pickle in particular, like to attack any shortcomings or perceived shortcomings with government, but will run from answering questions regarding how *they* think things should be done... such as in this case.

From my perspective, you seem to want to jump in and agree with them on pointing out the errors and shortcomings of governments and politicians, but distance yourself from them when it is convenient, but like them, do not want to grapple with the prospect of coming up with a better solution to the problem than what government provides or can/should provide.

It is easy to attack what exists, but is often far more difficult to show a better way. You are joining them in refusing to even try and do so.

edit: fwiw, I think your criticism of me is off base:

It is interesting you want to constantly poke holes, but you never offer anything up,

See my response above.

and your view that it should be government based will lead to biases and infringements against far more people. Because there are people without any expertise making decisions that are blanket and anti freedom

I am open to alternatives to government based solutions. If you can give me solutions that make sense I will certainly try and give them a good hearing, and would gladly use any better alternatives.

I am a believer in subsidiarity. Solutions should come at the lowest levels possible. First choice should be convincing an individual, if that won't work a family solution, if that isn't possible, then continue on up the line to family & friends, or the lowest level of societal organizations possible, maybe a softball team, or fellow workers or employers at one's job, or a homeowners' association, or a town council, or social workers, or medical professionals, or sheriff, on up the line to the county or state level and finally the federal level if appropriate.
