I didn't even think of this, even though I often carry on my business via
e-mail while I'm travelling and have even considered Costa Rica as a
possible
personal emmigration destination from which I might be able to carry on some
of my business in the States and elsewhere as the Net gets a little better.
Mark, your point is very well taken.

Actually, this is the original reason why i began to investigate Libertarians
in the first place, which led me to Extropy, it seem highly probable that
such an anarcho- cap world might occur spontaneously (before I ever
encountered S.O) through the very offworld nature of 'cyber- business', with
the chaning territories eroding the govt controls slowly bu t surely....and
Libertarian ideas were the closest to "workable" that are around. However I
still see many areas that are not ironed out and hope that people do not
stick dogmatically to a premise that has yet to be ground tested. IMHO, and
it is humble, believe me, we need a NEW paradigm. I did not like Harry Brown
telling me in his book how much better the fifites were.. and how we can
return the constitution andour selves to the past...
Cheers,
