People wonder why I say some other people should be killed. The law allows my enemies to seek an involuntary '72-hour commitment" of someone like me. This has happened in thousands of cases. Guess what? Such a psychiatric commitment makes it nearly impossible to purchase new firearms, and existing firearms may be confiscated (though the cops rarely bother...most of the enforcement happens only at the point of sale). There is no way I'm going to be able to get these corrupt laws changed. In my view, I would be morally justified in arranging for the death of anyone who got me committed to such a psychiatric observation. Ditto for the cops who picked me up, ditto for the hospital and staff which held me. Burning down the hospital administration offices, untraceably of course, would be fully justified. In my world view, millions have earned killing (not necessarily by me, mind you, but by the hundreds of thousands or millions of others they have initiated force against). Untraceable contract killings, crypto anarchy, is about to make possible a wave of justice the world has never seen. Forget Bell's hoaky, and cumbersome, "betting pool." Easier to simply hire assassins untraceably. (If bets can be placed untraceably, contracts can be arranged untraceably. Think about it.) --Tim May -- ---------:---------:---------:---------:---------:---------:---------:---- Timothy C.
