"GOVERNMENT on TRIAL" (last call)

With THREE days left in the campaign (funding campaign, not
political campaign!) "Government on Trial" has blazed way past the
original goal, and has some chance of doubling it. I might as well
just declare now that if it even comes close to doubling the
original goal (which would be $9,200), I will round up and include
TWO HUNDRED professors in the campaign--a nice round number. Again,
this will not just be a matter of sending them questions. I intend
to follow up on every single one, with reminders, possibly letter-
writing campaigns, publicizing the challenge, etc. And for those
who DO respond, I will be inviting them to live discussions, which
will also be recorded, all of the results being publicly available
to everyone for free.

Even if we only end up with 10% response, that will still hurl the
public discourse on these ideas to a level it's never been before.
Mainstream academia has been allowed to "plead the Fifth" regarding
the obvious contradictions of statism for far too long. At the very
least, we will publicize and advertize the inability or
unwillingness of academia to defend the authoritarian mythology
they teach; at most, we will see an actual exchange of ideas
happen. To watch some average Joe crash and burn as he tries in
vain to logically justify his own belief in "government" is
entertaining and somewhat informative. What would it be worth to
show the world twenty philosophy professors doing the same thing? I
hope anyone who sees value in this will support the project (in any
amount) and spread this around. This will be my LAST push for this
here before the funding campaign ends.
