NOTE: This work is found in Don't Shoot the Bastards (yet) by Claire Wolfe. The intro to this piece reads  "Maybe this will help motivate you toward your freedom goals. It's the work of correspondent Carl Alexander, who invites you to modify it to fit your own beliefs and objectives. I had nothing to do with writing it, but I'm proud that something I wrote inspired Carl to create it. I think sections III and IV are particularly outstanding as guides to personal ethics and conduct."
