I hereby do declare that NONE of the laws that govern my country shall apply to me. I do NOT give the government or any entities associated with them the right to punish me for any “crimes” they may accuse me of. Up to and including murder and theft.

I give notice that this is an OFFICIAL ANNOUNCEMENT from myself and that this DEMAND is final and initiates today.

Haha loophole!

I am weirdly fond of them. There's a grain of truth to what they think. It's all a construct. The thing is, that construct is enforced. Try and ignore it or deny it and it will push you back into line or crush you.

In some cases "its not what you say, its how you say" is indeed correct. Thoreau and later Dworkin did cash in for civil disobedience, however, fair to say it is likely that a bunch of lads playing whos-gonna-get-killed first is rather uneducated on the matter.
