I have not heard him talk about it, but from some of his writings I judge he has lost a great deal of faith in our system, a sentiment I myself have shared. Indeed, the last few election cycles have found me on the brink of ignoring my right to vote.

Williams apparently ignores the vote as a matter of principle. You or I may not agree with him, but I wager he could argue effectively for his point-of-view. The man does not hate his country. He hates the garbage that threatens it, and thinks that garbage is perpetuated by every election. He therefore does not want to be party to the destruction of his own country. I think he would probably rather see the country dismantled and rebuilt on the Constitution, rather than on the farce upon which it now rests.
