First, read the article - or - at least skim it.

"what if we are so free we can reject the Government?"  Let's do this retroactively as a theoretical citizen ----- in 1968, I tell the Government  to take the Vietnam War draft and shove it where the shine don't sun.  After getting out of prison and in the unlikely event I were able to get a job, then I tell the IRS that I will not accept extortion from a Puerto Rican revenue outfit that was never legally ratified to steal money from U.S. citizens?  Another five to ten. By this time in my 40's or so, surely unmarried and outdated in the job market, things really begin going south.  I'm sleeping in my car and tell the cops I have no obligation to talk to them and they had better not even THINK of touching me.  So after I get out of the hospital/jail/probation thingy a few more years later,  I'm quite a mess in my late middle or early senior years. Then I come across Judge Napolitano's holy advice. All I can say is that some things work in Heaven that do not work on Earth.
