Since violence or its threat would have to be used to stop me from saying
what I want, I would have no moral reservation in using violence in return.
However I'm a practical man, I don't fight for glory and I don't believe in a
fair fight. I would only engage in violence if I hopelessly outmatched my
opponent and victory was virtually assured, unfortunately in dealing with the
government this never happens, that's why I pay my taxes. I'm no hero, and
I'm not stupid either.

>or showing people fucking to that person's children?

That is none of my business. I respect other people's rights, all I ask is
that they respect mine.

I agree completely. He's entertained millions hurt nobody and gotten rich
doing it. It sounds very Extropian to me.
