Yes, you found me out. I moderated a panel this week at the Cato Institute, a (gasp!) libertarian-leaning think tank. I suppose I shall go slit my wrists now. -Declan On Sat, Nov 17, 2001 at 12:26:24AM +1100, mattd wrote:

-- Yours, J.A. Terranson sysadmin@mfn.org If Governments really want us to behave like civilized human beings, they should give serious consideration towards setting a better example: Ruling by force, rather than consensus; the unrestrained application of unjust laws (which the victim-populations were never allowed input on in the first place); the State policy of justice only for the rich and elected; the intentional abuse and occassionally destruction of entire populations merely to distract an already apathetic and numb electorate... This type of demogoguery must surely wipe out the fascist United States as surely as it wiped out the fascist Union of Soviet Socialist Republics. The views expressed here are mine, and NOT those of my employers, associates, or others. Besides, if it *were* the opinion of all of those people, I doubt there would be a problem to bitch about in the first place... --------------------------------------------------------------------
I suppose that charging admission would be the free-market approach to suicide. Not sure what I'd do with the money after death, tho. -Declan On Fri, Nov 16, 2001 at 12:01:11PM -0600, measl@mfn.org wrote:

Perhaps you have pets who could use the money? I would be happy to pay in Meow Mix :-) On Fri, 16 Nov 2001, Declan McCullagh wrote:
