I suppose in the cities you have different views of the police but
without money
they then become part of the public, good or otherwise as in New
Orleans,
On the other hand gun sales are sky rocketing in the Midwest so one
can shoot deer I suppose
and I can't see Obama saying "let the public eat cake". On the other
side of the coin, if the public is
not paid enough to buy the products that they make it becomes a
question of living or dying, your choice!
Do you think that hams will come to the aid of the government in a
case of crisis?
I think we should let this thread die before we are accused of
sedition

You are right, if all goes well, we stop paying the crooks and they go
home ... however ... if not ...

You will need the guns, IF the government has reason to hunt you, you
will need the guns for food (you may have to learn to eat government
officials!)--while you live off the land ... they are good, the guns.

But, doing a "Clint Eastwood" on a swat squad? Hmmm, show me?

However, knowing how to make explosives out of obtainable materials may
make a person a "technical expert", indeed, it may make one a valid
guru--something I have NOT seen in ages! Knowing that perchlorates
exist in common bleach and how to use them as oxidizers, this is good!
Knowing how to construct a flame thrower out of an air tank off a
semi-truck, some tubing, a valve and bicycle pump, and able to use any
fuel may just make one a desirable friend ... ya never know, ya just
never know ... your best ally? An open mind!

One question which is always valid, "Are we men, or are we mice?" (Or,
are we sheep, or are we free?) My father was a man (actually, a free
man--and a Freemason) ... you will have to watch me and make up your own
mind--as to myself ... :-)

But then, how do you know I am not just kidding? evil-malicious grin

When we see American Terrorists, we WILL know change is in the wind, let
it be a good change ... and let them kick those whoosie mooselims butts!
