Is forming a criminal protection racket a valid way to achieve such a defense? Please remember that a protection racket, by definition, requires an external threat to justify its existence. If an actual threat does not exist then it will be either generated or forged in order to maintain the illusion that Government is necessary. As such, it is reasonable to believe (and supported by overwhelming historical evidence) than Government officials will systematically CREATE external threats in order to maintain and expand their own power. > Let's be blunt.

I personally prefer to LEAVE PEOPLE ALONE while building VOLUNTARY alliances that will serve us well when the time comes to mount a defense. Is it really so difficult to NOT interfere with the lives of others? ---Sasan
