	I remember you linked a novel a while back in which the good guys beat the statists by developing better 'technology', which is of course wishful thinking and laughable nonsense. I did read like 3/4 of it and it was entertaining, but really naive. I think it might have been that same trumpet project? 

	Anyway, I assumed that the other stuff you linked now was the same sort of utopian stuff. My mistake and I apologize.
