I don’t know who he is. A quick search of his name gave me boring information.

I think that would make a cool Witness Protection Program name, though.

Anyway, he may be a lunatic fringe, for all I know, but I like his quote. I prefer to hear it in the voice of Falstaff, or Dudley Moore in the character of Arthur. Or maybe Captain Kirk:

States are “gangs of murderers, plunderers and thieves, surrounded by willing executioners, propagandists, sycophants, crooks, liars, clowns, charlatans, dupes and useful idiots—[the State is] an institution that dirties and taints everything it touches.”

Hoppe springs eternal.
