Well, I guess I agree. However, there is some issues of Cypherpunkly importance here, particularly concerning nation-states fighting other nation-states. Though I can't consider myself a true-believing anarchist, my own personal reason for continuing to post on the subject was to illustrate that, as long as Group-of-Bandits X continues to utilize our tax dollars to fuck over geographically removed Group of Bandits Y (and their citizenry), then some form of local resistance a la Blacknet (and arguably more drastic measures) might be called for, irregardless of how much Group-of-Bandits X (and their hypnotized citzenry) believe they're marching on God's orders. -TD

Can we please get out of the regional fixation? The cypherpunks list isn't about the US, US pissant wars, and similiar boring backwater shit.
It's too bad this list is dying a death of a thousand paper cuts inflicted by moronic posts, as so many others had. I haven't used a .procmailrc in a couple years, perhaps we can postpone this with a little collective effort.

How long have soldiers deployed in war-zones been able to get life insurance? Would love to see their actuarial process...
