It was not a personal threat, it was a warning of what they are planning to do to all of mankind.
I presume you do know what smart dust is? If not, rsearch for it, it is being developed by HP (the guys who make calculators, computers etc). It is nano technology and they claim the smart dust can be triggered so that we obey, just like robots.
I'm in the last of my years, but I do not take a fatalistic attitude, because I love our specie and want to die knowing that we will survive - and also expand to other solar systems, so that one calamity can no longer wipe us out.
I partly reject your ideas because I do not believe we can grow out into space if there are no gigantic sources of funding. Once we are spread out and inhabit a dozen planets, then if people on one of them want to try out the idea of not having a gov, fine let them, for if the flaws are then seen and they need help, there will still be other colonies to a) survive them and, maybe, b) help them.
