"Instead of hoping for those final two states to bring us all to the disaster of a whole "New Order", these folks should be doing everything they can to stop it from happening. And like you say, that won't be brought about by buying bullets at gunshows, but by taking civic responsibility, and participating fully, in making our system work better for everyone, not just the few and the priveleged and the powerful."

Amen. I wonder sometimes how many of those armed forces would actually fire on their friends and relatives. Then I think of New Orleans after Katrina, when police and Army personeel disarmed citiens trying to protect themselves from those very crooks. Remember the scene of the little old lady being thrown to the ground? The city at first denied they had the guns, then had to return them under Federal court order. Of course by then they had been allowed to rust beyond use.

We have to pay attention, complain politely, and VOTE! Stan
