Take a look at how the Amish handle things for some (pretty darn) rough ideas.
There are some big questions as to what aware people would generally agree on, particularly when it comes to property, but I just can't see us supporting governments. Ultimately, governments come down to one group of people telling another how to run their lives, and if they don't comply, responding with some form of violence. It shouldn't matter if the group of people doing the telling is larger, what matters is the violence.

So you would push for a Utopia instead of what we currently have? That is a good dream, I just don't know how realistic it is.
Perhaps you should give me more information on how to get all these people to follow your schedule?
