[ExI] Private and government R&D

[Eschatoon Magic]

Of course we should lower the level of coercion, and _reducing_
government power to control loans and the money supply is a good
start. But, _removing_? I am afraid it would quickly result in
agreements between all other powers (financial entities and organized
criminality) to enforce even more coercion and victimize the rest of
us.

Come on, don't be naive. Put 1000 persons on an island, and 10-20
bullies will get organized, grab the power and keep it. You know that.
We don't live in a fairy tale.
