How to Escape Criminal Gangs

I participated in a forum on state sovereignty at Drexel University a short while ago where the subject of secession came up (naturally). A Pennsylvania state legislator was the other speaker, and while he did not dismiss the possibility of secession he said that it was important to first exhaust all other possibilities, such as writing and calling your congressional representative.
A student in the audience asked him this question in response (paraphrasing): "If a burglar broke in to your home and stole your valuables over and over again, do you think it would be effective to write the burglar a letter asking him to stop it?"
How refreshing to meet a college student who understands the ancient truth that government is just another criminal gang.
