2nd edition. In 1st edition I edited badly & confused authors' texts. This edition will be clearer. Sorry Tim. Tim May writes:
Bid deal, a few cities get nuked. The greater danger is that of the control freaks like Denning clipping and skipjacking our remaining freedoms and ushering in the thousand-year Reich of Kaiser Willy.
Good point & good attitude Tim! While having a few big cities nuked is a truly horrible thing, its evil is completely dwarfed by the possibility of a world of billions of people crushed down by a long lived state using uncountable lies & computer monitoring to maintain control. That state evil would not have the flashiness & fear of a nuke. Its evil would be boring. Its horror would be in the hopelessness & lack of freedom of the people & in their lives being made up of lies. In the face of that threat, the idea of some ""terrorists"" or ""criminal"" gangs throwing around a few nukes on a wild Saturday night merely gives one cause for hope. Maybe a nuke would land on an oppressor & free us. Incidentally, what is this fear of ""criminals"" & ""terrorists"". I have never had a ""criminal"" extortionist take 40% of my income over a long period of time. I have never had a ""terrorist"" draft me into a war with people I don't know in a foreign country. Also, I don't know of any ""terrorists"" who occasionally murder millions of people. I think we have a problem with words. A ""terrorist"" is a soldier without a uniform. A soldier who ""failed to dress for success""*. A ""criminal"" is a thug without proper papers & badges. WACO & the Weaver family were lessons for those who can set aside their prejudices for awhile. I am quite happy to share the internet with ""terrorists"" & ""criminals"" - if it gives me & my friends a chance for happiness & freedom! Anarchy is simply the absence of a monopoly on weapons & force. If anarchy gives me this chance then I'll take my chances with anarchy. Death before dishonor? How about an even better deal - a risk of death before a life of no honor & no hope! This is the offer of liberty. So, MR or MS State, please don't bother me. I'll take my chances with a few stray ""criminals"" & ""terrorists"". Thank You, Gary Jeffers * p.s. Bob Black originally said ""terrorists are soldiers who fail to dress for success."" PUSH EM BACK! PUSH EM BACK! WWWAAAAYYYYY BBBAAACCCCCKK! BBEEEAAATTT STATE!
