>Please feel free to consider the meaning of "without government" in the context of your fight against corporates and government itself. You would not need to "abolish government" to reduce access to the judicial and enforcement systems on which you so successfully relied. Some would say that underfunding is already making it harder and harder. Seems to me that further cost-cutting would not result in power handed back to "citizens" but to those with the deepest pockets- meaning multinational corporates and the bankers who have shown how competently they can look after the ranch.

>Finally and in context you might want to review recent events wrt swine flu vaccine. The US produces only 20% of the vaccines it needs including swine flu vaccine. The rest is made mostly in Europe. If things turn ugly, as of this week it is suggested that the US might not get access to vaccines it has ordered because political pressure will see the vials retained closer to home for the benefit of local citizens. In response the US Department of Health and Human Services announced that it would spend almost $900M to buy supplies of key ingredients for swine flu vaccine. Big pharma seems content to keep making most of it in Europe. QED.

This has to be the longest debate in the history of the UT, LOL.
