Basically, I believe "one-liner" philosophies are bogus. After all, the Nazi Brownshirts, Communists, etc all defied authority until they got into power. Now even the current "reform" government of the Phillipines is taking harsh action against those who would "destabilize" their government.
If history teaches anything, it is that those who question the established norm do so for their own self interest. If one happens to agree, then it is good & necessary. If not, it is dangerous radicalism.
BTW Trimble: Your rather subtle (& possibly unintended) point is well made. We should be talking about chips.
