You can read the book here: http://www.scribd.com/doc/17059789/The-Tao-Shoplifting-Crisis

Also, do you think I have an affirmative defense if you read this from the other party’s blog when he posted Kevin Sampsell’s private emails without permission?:

(This is from Tao’s blog)

here is what will happen if i post kevin sampsell’s emails: kevin will be more aware of what he types in emails from now on, more people will be encouraged to post other people’s emails; gradually more people will be more conscious of other human beings and feel more aware of what they type in emails and by extension what they do or say in real life; in time, less lies will be told, more information will be available, there will be less secrecy, people will be more tolerant and nicer (if only because they are afraid of what will happen if they are not nice), because actions will be easier linked to identities (if you punch someone in the face you will suffer consequences, if you pay someone to confidentially punch someone in the face you will probably suffer less consequences, because of the confidentiality)

misdirected actions by way of obscured philosophies and hidden information, such as soldiers fighting soldiers rather than generals (or presidents) fighting generals (presidents), will happen less; *making available information that is true will probably always reduce pain and suffering in the world * [Tao's emphasis]
