• No, the state is anything but the result of a contract! No one with even just an ounce of common sense would agree to such a contract. I have a lot of contracts in my files, but nowhere is there one like this. The state is the result of aggressive force and subjugation. It has evolved without contractual foundation, just like a gang of protection racketeers. And concerning the struggle of all against all: that is a myth.

• All economic activity is dependent upon that environment and its underlying resource base of forests, water, air, soil, and minerals.

• Now the seasons are closing their files
  on each of us, the heavy drawers
  full of certificates rolling back
  into the tree trunks, a few old papers
  flocking away. Someone we loved
  has fallen from our thoughts,
  making a little, glittering splash
  like a bicycle pushed by a breeze.
  Otherwise, not much has happened;
  we fell in love again, finding
  that one red feather on the wind.

• Some ISPs are blocking all BitTorrent traffic, because BitTorrent can be used to share files in a piratical way. Hollywood lobbying groups are trying to pass laws which would force ISPs to block or degrade BitTorrent traffic, too. Personally, I think this is like closing down freeways because a bank robber could use them to get away.

• I think that prosecuting some college kid because she shared a file is a lot like sending somebody to Australia 200 years ago for poaching his lordship's rabbit. That's how it must seem to poor people who just want to watch a crappy movie for free after they’ve been working themselves to death all day at Tesco or whatever, you know.
