I hope you were not suggesting a long drawn-out court case, with lawyers paid for by the taxpayers, to decide that which is patently obvious?

I have read quite a few of your messages related to this, Tim, and I find it quite interesting that the quintessential Crypto Anarchist has such a conservative attitude. Long drawn out court cases are not "paid for by taxpayers". They are paid for by the government, which happens to have stolen the funds from its victims (taxpayers). Why does the fact that they (the government) have initiated force against you (or stolen from / taxed you) somehow imply that they now have an obligation to further their crimes by initiating force against others? ___________________________________________________________________ Jon Galt e-mail: jongalt@pinn.net website: http://www.pinn.net/~jongalt/ PGP public key available on my website. __________________________________________________________________
