How would it be an act of war? How would it differ from any other form of economic sanction?

<But if somebody else owns the oil and decides to cut off supply,...> <Some would consider this an act of war.> Ken, It's like those bloody niggers picken' cotton. If the bastards refuse to work, whup 'em good. If we need something, we own it. NOBODY is allowed to refuse to supply products or services if we need them to maintain our height to weight ratio and NO2 ambient air levels. That's an act of WAR!! This freedom and property-owning nonsense has gone on long enough. When times get tough, I'm sorry, but we've just gotta set our normal civilized ethical standards to one side and TAKE what we want and kill anyone in the way. If people aren't for us, they're against us. Next time the local pilots union goes on strike, just go and help yourself to the plane. If you need it, you should have it. The pilots' act of war shouldn't be allowed to stand. Kill them! If you need a cancer cure and can't afford the treatment, it's an act of war, so attack the company which invented the treatment and take what you need. Or just make it yourself - after all, if you need it, who the heck are they to say you can't have it and that you have to pay them royalties after buying a licence or license? Same as in California. People NEED the electricity and why the heck should they pay more than they want to for it. Just TAKE the electricity. If companies don't like it, tough!! That'll teach those greedy power company shareholders not to invest in California. Losers!! Those big companies better get it through their thick heads that we're voters and in case they haven't heard, voters are always right, by definition, because democracy is GOOD! Majority rulz ok. I think a good way of resolving this whole mess, from California to Kabul is to have the state own it all, take over the whole world and we could take from each according to his abilities and give to each according to their needs. Okay, that sounds good. Let's adopt that as the official FADG policy as it seems to have wide support. If we need it! We take it!! Crikey, we could use that as a slogan to chant during the freedom fighting street riots. "If we need it! We take it!!" I baggsy be in charge of re-education and the gulags. It's all so simple when the dialectic is epistemologically defined. We, the people, Mqurice
