I love this thing because if you remove the first four points, it's just a good how-to about life in general. Actually if you follow these rules you may never have to vanish :

#Discard your old life. #Limit the resolve and resources of your opposition. #Run from your opposition (and your old life.) #Hide from your opposition.

Make new friends. Acquire a (new) identity. (Legal papers: Birth record, Social Security #) Find gainful employment. Pay your taxes. Get medical, life, and automotive insurance. Get a credit card -- and keep it paid up. Perhaps take college courses to learn a new marketable skill. Acquire and maintain respectability in your community. Find a wife or husband: Make a (new) family. Don't drink heavily, don't use any illegal drugs, don't do any crimes. Die with dignity.

That's definitely a little idealistic on several levels. First because of this* quote, which describes the reality we live in. Secondly, that assumes that living a life that adheres to the law is totally fair an just. History is full of acts of civil disobedience which in some cases could require people to disappear.

* "If you give me six lines written by the hand of the most honest of men, I will find something in them which will hang him."
