Firstly, I've not discounted the value of openbazaar. With any luck it will
be vibrant and successful and copied. The markets will be black and we may
rejoice. Supposing it all goes down that way, do you really stop being a
liberal?

This thread was about Ross' Trial and now judgment, and ethical questions
like yours which were not entirely rhetorical. The conversation became
about morality and murder.

I say a militant ethics is required, and bad subjects necessary, to depose
the state-form. A great place to start examining your head is with your
acceptance of universal morality, which I offer is as much a "product" as
Swiss cheese.

Ross may have acted unethically in his actions. But we should consider that
he was supremely ethical as well.
