Steve, & Alex,
Alex: Maybe you should read Robin Cook's statement again,
as regards criminals and "illegitimate groups". You might be one of
those "illegitimate groups" one day.
I profess no perfect knowledge; I sincerely desire it though.
And, if I/you/we possessed it, would I/you/we realize it?
I quite agree that government is the problem, if only because
it is perceived as THE solution by people who should know better.
Men who hate other men, would create the force necessary to
exploit those 'other men', and subjugate 'those others' to their own will.
That, my good man, is the essence of _all_ 'government'.
It remains for good men (and women too) to understand that
to control another person, is to deny one's self as well. To dam the source
is to damn the possibilities, and ultimately cause chaos.
When everything is in the open, then nothing is concealed.
That is the objective: to have an open mind. When there is nothing
to stop your vision, then you see all the possibilities.
Criminality is possessed of the hidden, the unknown, and the
controlled: begins to sound just like government, does it not?

I think we already are one of those illegitimate groups given
that our "weapons of mass destruction" were banned in 1988!
