For anyone confused, I originally had a comment about anarchism in the post
above this; I removed it because I noticed that I had misread one of Casey
Parker's statements, but it's still visible on the mailing list.

I never said I was against taking advantage of infrastructure created by bad
or imperfect entities. If that were the case, I would have to go out and live
in the woods. Keep in mind that our societies build on each other, and some
past societies have been rather barbaric empires.

You're making an assumption which happens to be incorrect. Namely, you're
assuming that I oppose government. I don't. I just support a different kind
of government: one run not by a state, but by the collective of citizens. As
far as I know, most anarchist philosophies are like this.

You are using argument to moderation, which is a fallacy. See:
