RE: The Chains People Revere

It's a real conundrum. Working within the system reinforces the system. Fighting the system reinforces the system. We need to undermine it, sidestep it, and point out its illegitimacy. I have always thought pot smokers just breaking the law were more effective than legions of activists marching in the streets begging for permission.

Yes, and good point about pot smokers.

Although it typically falls on deaf ears, I have long suggested to anyone who cares to listen that the best way to change something you don't like is to find ways to render it irrelevant.

Many years ago, a friend was all about boycotts and waving placards of protest outside the fuel stations of major oil companies to protest the rising gas prices. I suggested she start riding a bicycle... thereby simply removing the relevance of rising gas prices and the oil companies...

Cryptocurrency is a way to render the government's funny money and fiscal shenanigans irrelevant, but of course they want to horn in on our alternative money, too.
