Is the status quo worth more than free will?

Last weekend I was having a conversation with some of my family on the reason why I became an anarchist. This Reason article lays it out nicely--

"When the government takes away our free will, the government steals a gift from God; it violates the natural law; it prevents us from having and utilizing the means to the truth. The moral ability to exercise free will to seek the truth is a natural right that all humans possess, and the government may only morally interfere with the exercise of that right when one affirmatively has given it away by using fraud or force to interfere with the exercise of someone else's natural rights."-- Judge Napolitano

While I don't agree with the Judge on everything, I largely do. What man has a right to take away your choice? And do your neighbors have a right to pick that man for you? Important questions you should consider.
