[ExI] (no subject)

[William Flynn Wallace]

How are they going to punish a person who has successfully committed
suicide?  Are there any laws about inheritance etc. that relate to this?
We libertarians, and I am not necessarily including everyone on this list
because I don't know what they think, are still quite a ways from all the
freedoms we should have.  Is it true that politicians tend to take away
freedoms rather than let us have more?

Many who believe in the nanny state think they are better at running our
lives than we are.   Closet authoritarians, I say.  bill w
