Join the Dark Side Mike!
Look I am not planning to spend my life running. I make the one move to New Hampshire. Then I make the stand. I believe in the NAP but I believe one has to defend oneself as well. Hopefully without bloodshead, but if they decided to kill you anyway...what do you have to lose? Honour isn't dead..yet.
R3 is our leader BTW.
Oh I'm already on the "dark side" I just dont go spouting off about it and the details it involves. Not to say thats what youre doing here, just that it wont make any difference in the world if you keep it to yourself until your line is crossed or if you openly show it in public forums.
Ed and Elaine Brown are good examples of this. They OPENLY scammed on their taxes..... yay for them for having the balls to do it openly, but did it really help their situation? Ed was armed to the teeth when they surrounded his home, yet he didnt fire a single shot, so it was kinda pointless cock waving on his part. What they SHOULD have done, in my opinion, was cheat on their taxes ninja style, ie pay the obvious shit and scam where they could, which would have done far more damage to the government system as a whole through loss of tax revenue than them both sitting in federal prison where they will both surely die of old age. Clandestine sabbotage is far more effective in the current environment than trying to initiate a pissing match with the government and their legions of well armed thugs. Do what feels right to you. If that means yelling FREEEDOOOOOOM!!!! at the top of your lungs as they chop your head off, then by all means, go for it. Im not gonna deny anyone their methods and I have nothing but best wishes for them in their goals.
I on the other hand, plan on being around to see the fall of the empire when it comes crashing down under its own weight ( with a little help from the sabbotage ninjas to speed up the process). So if you wanna go down in a blaze of glory I can only try talking you out of it at this point in the game, but if thats how you really feel, all I can say is that I understand how you feel and cant really blame you.
EDIT: I cant help but envision Richard, fearless leader, slapping an ATF agent in the face with his opera gloves.
