WOW! Someone has quoted me from my new book "Statist Delusions". Nice! "Groups that oppose governments often try to compensate for their perceived lack of power by using violence. Such violence simply reinforces state power. A terrorist that blows up a building or assassinates a politician gives government the excuse it wants to crack down on individual liberties and expand its sphere of influence. When a government turns to violence, it is because it feels its power is slipping away. Governments that rule through violence are weak. Dictators have always had to rely on terror against their own populations to compensate for their powerlessness." ~ Trent Goodbaudy pratapantony.blogspot/2013/05/violence-reciprocity.html
