Chris, I know we are on the same side and all, but following your moral
further, it is also right to break the laws, as you see fit, because it
hurts the system. Frankly, I think most would rather obey them and carry
the weight the system puts on us, too, to avoid the misery caused by a
collapse of this system. For now. At some point, the weight will be too
much, and we will stop supporting it and those who can't support themselves
will perish, and a better system (perhaps) will emerge. The sooner the
better, I guess. Ultimately, using your moral, I think the best thing to do
is support every government handout (like health care, welfare,
unemployment) and belly up and accept it to speed up this system's
(treasury's) demise (all the while robbing those who produce). Good plan?
