RE: Not Voting Is Silence & Silence Is Consent

Is that still a problem in the cases of Jeffrey Dahmer and Ted Bundy? "Government" did the right thing in those cases. The problem is improper, illegitimate government (stated in Economic language, it's "surplus order"). In psychological terms, the problem is "obedience to false/illegitimate authority." (Read Milgram's "Obedience to Authority: An Experimental View" for more on this (he even quotes/cites Mises' "Bureaucracy" and Wiener's "Cybernetics").

The political problem is the division of (classical) liberal (libertarian) forces that could otherwise overpower the totalitarian forces, if those in their own camp were not confused by "anarchism" (essentially an anti-quorum-sensing drug for libertarians).
