E. SHAUN,
We loved your piece. We question, however two words.

> No more shall we adhere to laws or rules with which we don't comply,

If we don't adhere, we also don't comply. Would not "agree" be a more
precise word?

> No more shall we idly accept order and let ourselves be led,

In place of "order", how about "authority"?

Of course we have been doing just what you suggest, for over 20 years.
We do it very low-profile. It's the Monster-in-the-hall scenario; when the
monster comes down the hall, you have three choices: 1. Charge it head
on....and just end it all. 2. Run like Halo for your life so you don't see
its jaws just before it bites your head off. Or number three.....pour oil
on the floor and walk away.
