Sasan, I don't believe Jon is trying to "blame the victims." This kind of argument is typical of libertarian debates. We attack each other over minor misunderstandings rather than concentrate on the real issues. You (we all) should stop this.
While you have not that I can remember been explicit, I understand that you advocate complete anarchy. You do not accept the presence of government in any form. If this is the case (why not just say so?) how about you pick a couple of services that government presently provides and describe how these would be provided in an anarchic situation? Then the group can pick at your solutions, ask questions, suggest alternatives, and so forth. Pick some hard ones. Not things we all pretty much agree government should not be involved in.
