OK, Woods, let's start there. You got a flat tire, and you gotta gun. First throw away the gun and look for a more appropriate tool. (Or if you have an ingenious way of using the gun as a lever, say, be sure to disarm it before you try, you'll not be needing its human killing power. You'll need a plan ... ingenuity, engineering, Darwin ... brains .... so moving on.)
Anyway ... the reason I didn't respond to your blackwater question, was that implicit in your question about having a problem with blackwater appearing "at home" was that somehow it hade been ok that blackwater had been active "abroad". I didn't know where to start, on that, and for me it's not the main event, unlike ... I did answer your debate (and gav's) about ... we gotta crisis, what do we do ... several times. (The second amendement and/or blackwater are irrelevant to any answer of mine.) In a nutshell, once you've decided on the call to action ... even passive resistance, active non-participation, self-sufficent personal sustainable life-style, whatever, I think we've all bought some variation of that ... you need to answer the what next (?) question ... how would you prefer to be governed. (Governance ... as I've said a few times ... and David M too) and how to bring about that change. (You have the right to use force, it may even be necessary, but it's clearly not sufficient.) Be happy to debate that further .. intellectually ... any time ... but it will take time, respect and concentration ... true involvement. (There are only fleeting chances for that on MD.)
