How many Americans would revolt?

A very good point Xaos, from an international point of view, peaceful protest does indeed seem to be the better option.

I have stated before that violent revolutions create more violence. I am repulsed by them.

Pacifism won't work. Pacifism is only for those looking for a Nobel Peace Prize. Why do you think Malcolm X was so much more successful than MLK..

Well said!



Truth sounds so beautiful.

Yet in the end Malcom chose peace.

True, but not the peace in the sense of turning your other cheek...

I would be the ending.

Oh, I wouldnt turn the other cheek, I would just fight them in a different way. Education, Conversion, deprivation of funds (through refusal to pay taxes or theivery, whatever is prudent), Mockery, the list of ways to fight back is endless. But when you kill, you have to continue to kill, and it will mark you forever.

That would be funny, since our military is larger than the five largest nations, combined. US Military has been fighting on so many fronts its synominous. Confusion of the media might actually happen!

what if canada and mexico tried to take us

Any nation with brains would realize that should you invade, you would only unify the people against a common enemy.
