Revolutions seldom come at us like our revolution in 1776 did, folks.
They start out as mere crime that does not attack the government head on. Itattacks softer targets (that'd be you and I FYI)
Then crime gets organized and starts taking over control of the streets since the police are underpaid and understaffed and overwhelmed, and so the only people who still have protection are those living in the best neighborhoods.
The revolution will not be announced to give us all time to decide which side we'll be on, either.
It will come to us as a very angry 15 year old kid with no hope but the gun in his hand.
The revolution is ALREADY happening in some neighborhoods in America.
Why else would so many of you tell me that you own guns to protect yourselves from thugs? Do you honestly think you'd need those guns in a TRULY functional CIVIL society?
Honestly, some of you people need to wake up and smell the decay of our civil society and recognize it for what it TRULY is.
Who REALLY owns the means streets of our ghettos?
The criminals or the cops?
And our massive prisons are nothing more than finishing school for future revolutionaries and they're not studying Marxist theory, folks.
They're taking advanced classes in sociopathology.
The government is NEVER going to admit that it is failing us, people.
It will never say to us, "Look, we cannot protect you, so you can stop paying your taxes"
All that will happen is what some of you already intuit what is happening.
The government will be little more than a gang that taxes you and provides damned little help keeping you or yours safe from the storm.
All any of you really have to do is look at Colombia or Mexico to see what the effects of governments which cared more about the superwealthy than they did about the people are like.
There will be pockets of chaos where no sane citizen would dare walk the streets.
And as more and more people become desperately poor, those pockets become cancers which make life harder for the vast majority of us.
Why on earth do you think our government is now deseprately trying to figure out how to prevent more and more Americans from losing their jobs?
You think they're trying to create socialism?!
They're trying to save CIVILIZATION, folks.
Of course, since they want the civilization which has been so swell for THEM, they're not on a path that will work, I suspect.
Does anybody still wonder why BUSH II bought a 64 square mile ranchero in Patagonia last year?
That's his lifeboat, folks.
The remarkable lack of imagination some of you exhibit on this board, you're clinging to the notion that this is about capitalism V socialism simply amazes me.
What the government is attempting to do (badly) isn't about capitalism v socialism, its about civil society v anarchy.
This is REALLY the same problem that FDR tried to cope with, too.
He was about the business of saving CAPTIALISM for the aggregate effects of a society which was ruled by the class of greedy fools who thought that they could sap the sheeple indefinitely and everything would continue to be okay, anyway.
The revolution, should it come to that, will NOT be organized, and it will not be righteous men standing against tyrants, either.
It will be decent people seeking to find shelter from the anrachy of other decent but now truly deperate people.
What we are facing is economy anarchy which typically leads to tyranny because, believe it or not, MOST people would prefer even a HORRIBLE tyrant to anarchy.
Even tho you were well spoken there was no answer to the problem....
What is with everyone... make an answer to the problem...
Civilization will not fall and we can survive without the current government system we have.
There are not such things as rules/law/admendments.
Look at the world and how easy it is to control.
If you get people doing things over and over they get use to it and forget about. That is exactly where the people in this world are at.
They think that there is suppost to be rules and government because they no nothing else.
The entire planet is brainwashed because we are immersed in a complete system that we were throwing in to.
I wish people would just have some heart, courage to and bravery to stand up and say no I do not accept what you are offering.
That is how simple it is. It is ok to be different and not go with the flow. Please if you want to follow the current government, follow but don't think you know whats going on till you show me your office chair in the government that creates the rules and systems.
Don't try to fit me in any catagories that they made to classify people as, that is only another trick they have to make you racist and not trust other people that look like you.
Coffee.... smell it...
People want guns to protect themself against people trying to take their freedoms.... the government wants to cap everyone income and take their guns away so they have no competition.
The government is a corparate business... all about control and not going out of business....
everybuddy with an ID number/SSN in the government is a partner with it in a way but they really do not no. You all have a bank account that the government barrows $1,000,000 on your behalf from the world banks and says that you will pay it back with taxes and intrest.
Your call guys, your vote doesn't count really. Your voice is never heard. YOu know I am right because look at the condition of the planet.
Look at your limits.... the government is the one that put those limits when there is not limit if a government is not there.
I am not saying that a organized central system for the world is not needed, it is needed. Just not the one we have.
