You don't have to : go to work, send your kid to school, follow fashion, act-normal, walk on pavment, watch t.v, (I don't even own a T.V.) save for your old age, obey the law.
Repeat after me : I am free

Exactly.
Do what this guy tells you to instead.
Then you'll be free.

Choose Life. Choose a job. Choose a career. Choose a family. Choose a fucking big television, choose washing machines, cars, compact disc players and electrical tin openers. Choose good health, low cholesterol, and dental insurance. Choose fixed interest mortgage repayments. Choose a starter home. Choose your friends. Choose leisurewear and matching luggage. Choose a three-piece suite on hire purchase in a range of fucking fabrics. Choose DIY and wondering who the fuck you are on Sunday morning. Choose sitting on that couch watching mind-numbing, spirit-crushing game shows, stuffing fucking junk food into your mouth. Choose rotting away at the end of it all, pissing your last in a miserable home, nothing more than an embarrassment to the selfish, fucked up brats you spawned to replace yourselves. Choose your future. Choose life...

Sheesh, what's wrong with sending your kids to school and saving for old age?

Walk the streets, find someones graffiti, take picture of it, go home to pc with internet access, upload photo to flickr, create a stir.

Too many people need this kind of 'wake up' message. Thanks for helping spread the word.

What? Walking on the pavements? How did the artist get to the wall? Paragliding? It's *nonsense*, dressed up as meaning.

Go to work. Or don't. Live off the land that you inherited from your parents who went to work every day to buy the land. Send your kids to school. Or don't. Home school them so they never know any more than you do. Follow fashion. Or don't. Wear thrift store clothing and beads and... oh, wait, that's what you hippies consider fashion. Walk on the pavement. Or don't. Take the unbeaten path, go off on your own. Who needs things like medicine and civilized society anyways? Watch TV. Or don't. You can be the star of your own show on the internet and make a statement to the world! Save for your old age. Or don't. Just live like there is no tomorrow then be sure to get in line for your government hand out when you are old and sickly. Let those who work hard and pay taxes support you in your twilight years, that'll teach them to stop being conformists. Obey the law. Or don't. Rape a five year old. Who needs laws? Repeat after me: Anarchy is not social reform.

I am one for choice but my choice in life doesn't make it any less of a valuable experience on Earth. If you are free my friend, then enjoy your relative freedom but man isn't this lone wolf nomadic beast, we are social creatures who crave to understand the world and look for structure. Even in this message that seemingly mocks "freedom" is the personal structure that this individual has chosen. My friend, you are no different than the rest of us.
We choose our chains.. Have a coke and a smile.

repeat after me: anarchy is the destruction of need of laws due to self-consious individuals realising that raping a five year old is not only immoral (as your God-like-being tells you to) but hurts society becuase tramatises the child and robs of an happy, average or not childhood.
It is the state of being where laws are useless and there's no social stucture based on Kratos. i

The solution to your problem is to effect change by doing. Teach your children important values that society will not show you. What you know effects what you believe. What you believe effects how you act. How you act effects everyone around you. Be something more than what you see in everyday life. Be more than the overworked stressed out indebt middle class person that your told to be. Change your world, its yours for as long as your alive.

The "artist's" musings on life may have merit, but I won't consider it further. The moment he expresses it by spraying it onto a wall that is not his own, it becomes unworthy of my attention.
Write it on a blog, poster, whatever. Stand in the park and announce it to the world in person. If you believe in your message and form of expression, attribute your name to it and be accountable. Don't make somebody have to spend their money and time and effort to scrub their wall clean of your cowardice.

Wow, none of you guys really get this. It's not talking about anarchy, it's not saying that any of those things are bad. It's just that you don't think about why you do them. Or how they truly make you feel. Most of you who have commented will never have any choice in the matter. Some of you will realize your free will and understand this message. For example, saving for old age may be important, but how it is we go about it and why we need to do it in our current times is absolutely degrading. Remember how people used to be part of communities and help eachother out? Of course you don't, because you're a slave to something other than your true spirit. Feeling fashionable isn't a bad thing- I own a clothing store myself. The way people feel they need to follow fashion today only allows them to work within the boundaries of trends, and people are branded, feeling less individual. To be free doesn't mean you get to do whatever you want. It means being able to do whatever you want through the understanding of yourself and your true desires. (but the rest of you have fun working for paper)
