You are substantiating your "law causes crime" theory quite well. I'm convinced. I suppose I have been for some time.

But I'm still an anti-centralistic, small-community-only minarchist for the time being. Still, I must admit to the possiblility that I may well be a full-fledged anarchist by Y2K the way things seem to be going. Viva La Revoluccion. GF
