Are you part of a cypherpunks list conspiracy to balance my cynicism? Are you actually suggesting that there may be a spark of hope for mankind to prevail in the battle with the forces of mindless robotic sheepnocity?
There is little hope unless we kill around 70% of the population of the planet, those untouched by western "democracy" or the totalitarian autocracies of the mid and far east are the only people sure to be mentally capable of comprehending the ethical theory and idealogy of anarchism.
You seem to be one of the eternal optimists who can even see the possible good in AP.
One does not need to be an optimist to see the good in AP, merely capable of following a logical chain of thought without allowing yourself to react to things rather than really considering them.
I suggested in a recent post that perhaps Green Peace could use the AP system to drain the profit margins of whalers without actually causing their death. Of course, I was low on Scotch at the time, so my idea cannot be taken seriously.
I am low on Jack Daniels at the moment, so I too am not functioning as usual. Reality is merely a halucination brought on by lack of alcohol.
