Subject: Police State but where's the beef?
In reply to: AM 's message, "Police State ?" on 15:42:43 12/01/99 Wed

"Humans exist in perfect freedom. Obedience is a choice. Government is therefore an illusion. The evidence isn't hard to gather, and it requires no special twist of language, no cognitive somersault. Just pick up the telephone and summon a policeman to attend a crime in progress (robbery, rape, murder, kidnapping). Good luck getting help in time. Nor is it clever to claim that the state's protection exists in a more diffuse, but efficacious realm beyond the average response time of emergency services. In any public street, the law is observed by its citizenry without police. Los Angeles has 7,000 cops and 7 million citizens... The LAPD are garbage collectors in fancy uniforms, picking up the dead and praying that the rest of us will argue quietly. " -- Wolf de Voon

We live in anarchy, real or instituted. Does it matter
which?

I think most folks are catching on and keeping quiet
about it...for now.

Yes, I grew up in the same environment you did and
I suspect this New Age is gonna be a wild ride.

Would you believe Warp 8?
