The thing I find tragic is that he at onetime approached the IRS topic proactively and intellectually by participating in a research group who even went so far as to hire tax lawyers to help translate and understand tax code ( according to his " manifesto " ). It appears he made a sincere and lucid effort to understand the laws and act accordingly, displaying much more effort than most. And then ended this way. Not encouraging, IMO.
I think you need to read his manifesto again.
He didn't spend all that time revewing the tax code in an attempt to understand it. He spent all that time in an attempt to exploit it. And then when he was caught...he cried about it.
There is a big difference between the two. He tried to cheat the system and got burned.

yep, already got that from a friend of mine who's a pilot. He could own the plane, but without a valid license(including medical) he would not be allowed to pilot the aircraft. Not that would stop him from jumping in it for a spin. I kinda wonder why the ATC at the airport wouldnt be ontop of stuff like that. Certainly you would have to be cleared for take off, assigned a runway, etc.

I don't know something feels very virulent about this manifesto and how its spreading like wild fire among the social networking sites.
Historically when things happen like this it produces a memetic epidemic of madness and hysteria. Bleeding Kansas and John Brown's raid on Harper's Ferry are good examples of this.
Nothing good will come of this.

You are wrong, however, that this "won't do anything". It has already done quite a bit. It hasn't even been more than a couple hours and already people are getting behind him. Imagine a day, a week, a month. People are waking up and they shall continue to do so.
IMO, people will get behind him, but very few will follow him.
People are, well.. too dependent on government.
