You aren't under any obligation to remain within our society.

Don't confuse society with government or nation. They're not the same thing--that's why we have different words for them.

Society is owned by no one. Each member of society is free to interact with any other member who is also willing. This is the inalienable right to Free Association.

What you meant to say is that I am not obligated to remain a citizen of the country. That's true. Unfortunately, I am being wronfully extorted into remaining a citizen, in spite of the fact that I would immediately become a non-citizen were that extortion not present.

If you won't accept the obligations our laws impose, then you aren't entitled to their benefits.

Also true. But I am not interested in the benefits of US law, since the net effect thereof is detrimental to me personally, and to society as a whole. All I require is that my rights be respected--which all persons are morally required to do, regardless of which country I may have citizenship in.

Our society created our government.
