I rationalized my decision to move here -- never the evilness of the place, or the evilness of statism. (As Chomsky does; as you do?) I fully acknowledge that it is difficult and somewhat dissonant to be living so close to such evilness.

Rationalizing / living with your on-going evilness must be difficult and very dissonant for you

It is. The thing is, though, much like someone being raped wouldn't necessarily feel dissonant for the crime, I don't either (for moving to a place that supports rape -- knowing that there is no place in the world, currently, that doesn't.)
My main point with the Chomsky post, and people like you, is that *you actually support rape*. It's not that you're grudgingly forced at gunpoint to participate, but rather that you actually think it's good. (Or that's the impression I got from our last emails. Ie., you were saying some bullshit about how you are helping the economy, never once pointing out the evilness of the raping. Ie. given the choice to stop rape, or not, you, like Dave and Chomsky and most people would prefer not to stop it. (Correct me if I'm wrong.))

What part of "Rationalizing / living with your on-going evilness must be difficult and very dissonant for you" do you not understand?
And who isn't a victim then? Everyone is forced to pay taxes, nobody does it willingly, and half the population doesn't even vote - so it isn't like they are directly culpable. What you're doing is faulting others for their exercise of free speech. If the distribution child pornography is a fundamental right, then **writing** and **talking** about raping and enslaving you, is sure as hell a free speech right as well.
And what victim? You don't pay taxes therefore you're probably one of the least victimized people in this country.
Further, Quebec isn't a "little" more statist then Ontario. In terms of government, it is more socialist, with higher taxes - so it does steal from those who work, to give those who don't (i.e. you). But what really takes the cake are the transfer payments. Quebec, steals around $1600 from EVERY citizen of Alberta EVERY YEAR to redistribute to residents of Quebec (i.e. you). Ontario doesn't steal. You are culpable for that. You moved to a thieving, immoral, socialist province willingly because you liked the culture - a culture that may not actually exist without this kind of thieving action. Do you not realize how shallow you sound when you try to explain that away. Facts are facts. You're enslaving others - all for "pretty people"
So I point it out, yet again:
"Rationalizing / living with your on-going evilness must be difficult and very dissonant for you"
You're one of the worsts ones.
