If a politician aggresses, he is responsible for his own actions ...

True. However, an elected official’s job is, quite simply, aggression. What else should one call using the threat of the state’s guns to make a person play the papers game throughout life, hand over a significant portion of one’s earnings for the state to waste on their ineffectual bureaucracies and programs, and to obey a slew of rules that are becoming increasingly silly and draconian? And if one pulls the lever and says, “He’s my ruler!”, and your guy wins, you helped put him in that position of power, no?

Some individuals therefore see the act of voting as aggression; one is accepting the idea of the necessity of a ruler and is expressing a preference for a particular ruler. I happen to be one of them. I do understand that others view certain conditions and/or ways of voting as defensive ... but to me, a voting anarchist is the epitome of dissonance.

At any rate, I believe this is one of those subjects where we will simply need to agree to disagree.
