Hence my post. Police make and break laws on a daily basis. I'd rather rant on an online forum than exercise my rights and end up in jail for doing so.

Here you've captured the problem with the american anti-government movement. Most americans have very [materially] comfortable lives, full of privileges we fear to lose.

We refuse to risk anything, we refuse to make any sacrifice for the greater good. Even those of us despise the state and the violence it employs won't sacrifice much of anything to better it.

Sacrifice. This is the difference between people like you and I and people like Edward Snowden and Bradley Manning. We are revealed as selfish cowards when held up to that standard.

Perhaps. Something tells me the users who have BTC tied up in my escrow services appreciate my choice not to cause trouble and risk my "freedom" which according to the police, doesn't exist anyway.
