Too much time spent watching too many mythical cowboys in too many Hollywood films and listening to too much he-man, right-wing, flag waiving bullshit. When it comes down to the real thing, many people suddenly realize it just doesn't work that way. Those people your government has hired and trained to bring you down WILL bust a cap in your ass if you leave them no choice.

My question is; What in the f**k makes people think it ever was or ever will be any other way? Is there any other government on the face of this earth that will watch you threaten armed rebellion as you begin seizing government property and just sit there and do nothing?

Really, think about that. I don't give a damn what the founders said or wrote or what anyone thinks the Constitution is all about, I'm pretty sure if a bunch of yahoos started waiving guns around and threatening to march on Philadelphia, George Washington would have had something for their asses.

I can't help but think they're stupid. Just plain stupid.

The real poser is that most of these men had life by the balls. Pretty much everything they need or want, they had.
