Nick: > Fine. Get stabbed to death. "Indulge" as you say. Well Nick, if somebody comes at me with a knife, I have the freedom to defend myself. I also have choices about the kind of places I visit and to tell you the truth, I usually choose places where people don't attack me. I know you can come up with all kinds of hypothetical situations - but none of them apply to me so why should I be interested? > > Nick: > Ok?

Taxes are built into the economic structure of the society I choose to partake. That's not coercion. You ever buy bread?

I've gone years and years without paying either property or income taxes. So far, no police. > Again. You can choose and like to pay taxes. That's > fine. That's your choice.

If I was holding a bat, it would be as a perch for the birdies.

I don't worry about being murdered and here I am, not murdered. Not a real life event at all, in fact. It's a tv show that you've absorbed into your brain. I'd feel sorry for you, but hey, you get to make your choices like everybody.
