It's a matter of perspective and a weighing of consequences. Are you
trying to so that all evils are inherently equal?

I often see arguments on this list where people happily build
irrelevant straw men and pound them into a pulp. What's more amazing
is that they're not doing it deliberately; they simply miss the
point.
You see whatever you expect to see.

Careful vladdy, your detweiler is showing.
I thought the message was a pretty clear statement of opinion. ie.
the deconstruction of democracy is a good thing and cryptoanarchy
will a enable a more just society. (Some would argue more brutal as
well, but I think that the level of brutatlity in society would
change little from it's current levels.)
So cut the crap and go ahead and argue for or against that thesis.
(by the way. Conveniently enough Tim May has put his ideas on the
web in quite a bit of detail. Just put "cyphernomicon" in your
favorite web search engine)
