Total bullshit again. Yes, but the reason it's bullshit is that shooting
messengers does no good. It leaves intact the originators of the message,
all hundred- million of them. Tomorrow, the hundred million will be
stumbling over each other trying to empower new messengers to replace those
fallen. Who else but the messengers (politicians, bureaucrats, etc.) is
going to collect the >money to pay the Social Security, after all? Who else
is going to halt the drug trade?
Assassination Politics
Convicted tax evader Jim Bell proposes a system of anonymous ecash awards
for the murder of "aggressors", such as IRS agents. See also Crypto-Convict
Won't Recant. What he misses is that his system, if tolerated, would merely
force government to operate secretly rather than openly

Jim says in the essay,It doesnt have to be,"wild in the streets"He doesn't
miss a trick.He talks of the possibility of minarchy.Does anyone actually
read the fucking essay? I part with him on offing forest grunts,btw.Its not
about shooting 'messengers'.Its about making very credible threats to limit
violence.Paradoxical but effective.
Halting the drug trades as imbecilic an idea as a "war on terror"
