Packer anything that I did not give (or trade) willingly. That is more than I
can say for my government. It's true that the government threatened to put me in
prison if I tried to compete with Kerry Packer, but as it was the government
threatening me (ie not Kerry Packer), I lay the blame at the government. People may protest 'but it's all part of the .. you know .. thing, man'. No.
The blame lies with the people who initiate force. I would prefer that the
entire population refused to cooperate with that system, but it's not going to
happen. I cooperate with it. Kerry Packer cooperated with it. You cooperate with it. >> Also Parker owned media (as well as the rest of them) do not seem to be
