"Were it left to me to decide whether we should have a government without newspapers, or newspapers without a government, I should not hesitate a moment to prefer the latter." -- Thomas Jefferson (b. 1743-04-13, d. 1826-07-04, US President 1801-1809), 1787-01-16

Given a choice between five tons of Durian fruit and a goverment, Jefferson would choose the Durian.

I never pegged Jefferson as an anarchist (or even a libertarian), though I do get the impression that he didn't want government to get too huge. (Making a mental note to read more Jefferson to check my impressions.)
