Interesting point, Boyd. Maybe we're *all* guilty
of conspiring with the the world's largest criminal
gang (i.e. government), whether we vote, or not.
Perhaps I *can* keep voting in self defense, after
all.
So, I suppose that those of us who vote *against*
current, or increased, government power (e.g. for
Libertarians) are somewhat *less* guilty, but guilty
nonetheless. That *is* my rule of thumb - if a
ballot measure increases government power, I always
vote against it. I also tend to vote against *all*
incumbents, since power accumulates.
Would that I could realize my fondest dream - to be
innocent of all such crimes against humanity.
