Government can do whatever it wants. That is not my problem, I do not care. But right now they can disconnect me from power grid to enforce their BS.

If I generate my own power grid, have my own sheriffs, my own protection...

Sure buddy, you do that. Hire your own sheriffs and they'll defend you against the mean central government.
