Seeing as we've just received an AAA question on childrearing, I'd say it's time to deliver on that promised AAA opportunity. If you need to, read or refamiliarize yourself with the guidelines by following the handy link in the right sidebar, and ask away.
My schedule is insane for the next couple of days, so please don't take a lack of snake ramblings as lack of interest. If you don't want to make a public posting of your question, you can email it to me, or peruse the "about the conspirators" section for their eddresses (where available; where not, send to me with an indicator of the conspirator you most want to answer it and I'll forward it).

I'll ask some questions: Namely given that we live in a world dominated by states, at what point does interacting with them "cross the line" and become immoral? How is the line determined?
For example, we all use government roads. These are paid by taxes (stolen funds) therefore, we are using stolen property. The strict moralist position would say that this is not acceptable and we should go live in the woods somewhere. Hardly a practical answer and I believe not a correct one.
On the other hand taking a job as a tax collector (surrogate thief) is clearly immoral.
Where is the line? How is it determined?
