_Chosen_ to swear to obey. > ...the coercive power of the state lands full square on your shoulders. The individual officer chooses to give the order and the individual soldier chooses to obey it. The fact that he does so because he finds the alternative choices unpalatable does not negate the fact that he chooses to obey. Other people, whether "leaders" or thugs in an alley, cannot make you do anything. All they can do is punish or reward what you choose to do. -- John Hasler -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
