Re: Clipper Death Threat
Something which comes up frequently on this list, and in other forums, is
the term "the government."
At which point does "the government" cease to be a collection of
individuals, and become the faceless entity we call _the government_. Are
the individuals in the government simply operating on the same utiltarian,
anarchists maxims that are preached time and time again: if I don't get X
out of transaction Y, then I won't do it? Would a Cyperpunk, operating
on the extreme individualism proclaimed on this discussion list do any
different than a tyrant?
(I protect myself and my position, at the expense of others or not.)
