Re: REPLY - no government wanted

You are absolutely right; LET THE REVOLUTION BEGIN!
Now suppose you get bit by your cobra but don't die but need
extensive medical care and maintenance for the next 50

rescue because of your choice, and given that you managed
to get bitten by the snake does not foster great confidence in
your sense of responsibility. Regards
