Thanks for sharing your thoughts friend! You've done so in a manner that concisely articulates your points without getting too specific. That is not always easy to do and requires a certain kind of thinker. Well done! I'd like to add that much like the systems you describe, one has the choice to opt out completely, fight the system and attempt to usurp it, or instead seek to understand it thoroughly. I tend to prefer the last option as it allows one to gain strength from the flawed system. If/when the time comes to employ the other options, you will find yourself in a more advantageous position. ...something all should consider, here and elsewhere, in my mostly-humble opinion.
Sounds very similar to my own pragmatic approach. Some systems can't really be opted out though when it comes to government enforcement.
