Many of the replies have already answered why I like trance. I got into it because it was new and fresh sounding compared to all the rock and hip hop I listened to over the years. I like it's ability to break an unhappy mood and put me into a good mood. I get pumped up by it and love listening to it while running or working out. Trance is my favorite genre and probably will be for a while, or at least until I get older and prob. transfer over to chillout edm & more mellow music.

Of course not. I just get pissed when people try to hold the concept of capitalism accountable for a type of corporation which is the state's monster. These are misconceptions spread among people through statist propaganda and straw man arguements against capitalism. Capitalism means private property and the state is just one big negation of such.

What do you mean by this? What "definition" are you speaking of?

The definition of theft, which is the method through which the government's revenue is acquired.

Hmm, I thought taxation was the method.

It's the word used, yes. It serves a purpose to those who espouse the concept it represents since it doesn't sound as bad as mass confiscation, robbery, slavery etc.

But, anyone who likes being to the point sees no meaning in disguising the act of taking someone's property without their consent by using words other than those most strongly associeated with it.

Someone holds a gun to your head while you're doing your taxes?

Must be tough.

a lot of trance these days seems like a woman forcing orgasm.

Forcing? Or faking?

Someone ever let you choose if you want to pay taxes or not? Ever tried refusing paying taxes and thereafter refusing to be kidnapped to police station/court/jail. Taxation is upheld with threat of force. Period. There is no way of denying that.

If i threatened to kill you if you don't pay me an amount of money in two weeks i think you would feel pretty dissatisfied even if i wasn't physically present holding a gun to your head when you send me the money .

Now that you mention it, a little of both, but mainly the former.
