Hang on wait what? You support anarchy so fervently and you don't even know how you'd implement it? Doesn't that strike you as absurd? Rights are one of the fundamental underpinnings of a free society, and unless you can very specifically elaborate on an alternate system that still accounts for human greed, selfishness and shortsightedness while retaining the freedoms we have today you don't have any argument at all.
Although your last statement might be even more absurd: government is said mutual consensus. Anarchists are a tiny fragment of our society, which makes the consensus opinion by overwhelming majority those of us of who think government is the better solution.
The atoms that make up you and me were born in the hearts of suns many times greater than ours and in time our atoms will return once again to reside amongst the stars. Life is but an idle dalliance of the cosmos, frail, and soon forgotten. We have been set adrift in an ocean whose tides we are only beginning to comprehend, and with that maturity has come the realization that we are, at least for now, alone. In that loneliness, it falls to us to shine as brightly as the stars from which we came.
