No, because its not my purpose to attack any particular state, but 
rather to show the absurdity of your approach to the issue.

As far as the rest - I expect the patience of the list is worn out. I'm 
not "confused" about whether the courts are part of government or 
whether its illegal to be a monopoly vs. exercise monopoly powers. We 
simply don't agree about fundamentals.
