Dr. Anarchy answers your mail
Here's a pretty old legacy post from the blog archives of Geekery Today; it was written about 20 years ago, in 2004, on the World Wide Web.
A new advice column–sure to be syndicated in a newspaper near you soon. Because everything is simpler when you reject the State as such.

Sincerely,
Worried in Washington
Politicians are never going to stop being irresponsible. That is their job. I suggest that you dump them.
Yours,
Dr. Anarchy
Dear Dr. Anarchy: My pharmacist is refusing to fill prescriptions for emergency contraception because he’s a sexist prick. What can I do?
Truly,
Bristling in Britain
Bristling: Your pharmacist only has the power to be a slimy control freak because a bunch of politicians–most of them men–have given him exclusive control over whether or not you and your neighbors can get needed medicine–by banning you from buying it over the counter. I suggest that you dump them immediately.
Yours,
Dr. Anarchy
Dear Dr. Anarchy: We have reached the point where serious lawyers are being paid serious fees by a big company to shut down the PB&J operation of a grocery store. How can we fix a broken patent system?
Sincerely,
Flummoxed in Florida
Flummoxed: Abolish it.
Sincerely,
Dr. Anarchy
Dear Dr. Anarchy: Can this marriage be saved?
Yours,
Hopeful at the Home Journal
Hopeful: No. Marriage can’t be saved. Abolish it.
Yours,
Dr. Anarchy
