There would be no taxes in my world. Guess again.

You can go do the Ted Kaczynski thing now if you want to. You do not want to.

Ted Kaczynski was a violent savage like yourself. Why are you down on him? He's the other pea in your pod.

They're heroes for not paying taxes. They're thieves for using things for which they are not paying.

Kaczynski was a violent criminal. I believe in the non-aggression principle.

You don't understand how offensive and defensive force work within a framework of logical and moral consistency.

When a man does no harm he has every right to be left alone.

Never touched the stuff. I don't even smoke MJ; I do ingest it via other means however--drinks, edibles, creams, etc.

So, your world would have no army defending it, how long do you think your world would last? Or do you think an army materializes with no $$$?

As opposed to addressing the point, make it about me.
