if you consider bribes 'private justice' yes.. but thats the problem. If you can get a large group of people to cooperate for the good of each other, that's government. Call it whatever name that makes you and your ideology happy, it doesn't change the nature of the beast.

a thousand thousands for naught, with many more battles to fight

Do you have a Hartford Whaler you would sell?

If you are going to Nepal read HW Tilman : The Nepal Himalayas. It's in the Mountaineers compondium. Good stuff.

I'm not sure how many actual photo radar units there are relative to 'photo radar' zone signs in Oz or NZ.. based on recent experience it's pretty low.

In cased you missed it the greatest threat to the US is no longer states but nonstates - who've shown them quite capable of transcending national boundaries.

Missile Defense = MAD + shitton of $ poured down the shitter

Sounds reasonable to me

There's a money pit you fools keep shovelling billions into....

1 goal, 3 matchs.

Yeah, but purchasing (anyone will take your money) and owning with real, effective, enforceable property rights are two different things..... just look at the land Tompkins 'owns'.

You know anything about the climbing incountry? I know mr skinner went a bit ago....

Reservations at the top of palmer? Woot!

Methinks he bears a grudge, dost thou?
