I agree with you. You will not achieve freedom by working "within the system." But you
*can* "secede by yourself," at least in certain ways. Just do so as *quitely and
inconspicuously* (sp?) as possible.

I agree with the principles you list.

But based upon my first comment above: If you want to put something into
your body that the people at the FDA don't like, then find ways you can do
so without getting caught. Speaking freely on televsion I wouldn't recommend
because that is too high profile. You can easily avoid the draft. They can't
draft you if they can't find you. Or if "they" don't know you exist ...
You *can* buy what you want from whom you want - as long as the other
party agrees. Unfortunately, the bureau-rats have many people scared to
sell certain things - they perceive the risk as to great ...
You *can* stop paying for the "services" the "government" provides you
any time you want. See http://www.buildfreedom.com
