- I'll say. What shall we do if (if?) the federal government or a national
- majority does something we despise? Boycott everybody in the nation-state,
- including ourselves?

- o Who is "the state" anyway?
- o Why do I have to be categorized with hate-mongers?
- o Why does *every* damn person living or working in the state of Colorado
- have to be grouped together with these hate-mongers?
- o If Peter's an asshole, why should we hassle Paul?
- Because they live within 5, 50, or 500 miles of each other?
- Because they live on the same side of some arbitrary political boundary?
- Because it's too much hassle to distinguish between allies & enemies?
- o Is there anyone among us who couldn't just as legitimately
- (or ill-legitimately) be held responsible for the actions of some people
- who live within x hundred miles of you?
