From Jason W Solinsky:
Are: "They [the malls] can take away your personal
property by
force and they are not governments?. . . . "
Is Not: ". . . . . this is the first I've heard of
defining government by the force it weilds."

Definitions, definitions.
Governments are defined according to some unknown determining
factor, but force is recognizable immediately upon being
threatened by it.
Fighting fire with fire can be confusing, trying to decide what
difference it makes when it all looks the same.

In that sentence "they" refered not to the malls but to the cyberspatial
governments.
