[Arlo's Finally Accepted Question]
If you think this is an unfair question, then let me ask it this way.
Our current society is ordered so that one group (the military) has
access to a grade of weapons another group (civilians) do not. Do you
feel this is optimal? Is it something that should change? How so and
to what degree? Would it be better for our society to dissolve this
dinstiction entirely? Or just bend it more? Or keep it the way it is?
[Ron]
Now we have a legitimate discussion, I think, the present modern
social conditions require a separation of military from civilian power.
[Arlo]
Well this is what I've been saying all along.
[Ron]
We have no choice but to keep the balance of power as it is.
[Arlo]
Agree, although this should be under constant examination.
[Ron]
I do think that a amendment should be made, sort of like with the
Roman empire with the Rubicon, which releaves all officers of their
oath should military action be taken against our civilian populace
over and above the need of it as a police force which is instated to
serve and protect this said populace.
[Arlo]
I'd put this under a Good Faith clause. In the event of this level
threat, I'd like to think going after Officers for releasing weapons
in the hands on non-military personnel would be a non-issue. But,
yes, since you've articulated this, I will say I agree. In this
context, the normal division between "civilian" and "military"
becomes meaningless. I just hope we never live to see it.
[Ron]
Policy must change with the times.
[Arlo]
Aye. No doubt.
