As if the people practicing it-- government patriots, spies, traitors, double
agents, merceanries, freedom fighters, and assorted shitheels of all
persuasions-- care about illegality one way or the other. For good or bad, for
all of them it really does come back to the la

who happen to agree with parts of them. It's when the discussion
degenerates into partisans throwing dogma and generalities at each other
that it gets really, really tiresome.
I'm certainly no purist, but the fact remains that I'm far more likely to

themselves--while quietly developing your own set of tools to take advantage of
it.
A sobering thought.
