Gwydion in the past I believe we have agreed upon things but here I believe to be the wrong path. I respect your conviction and was at one point near
that very same conviction.
Maybe the real question is: When do We, the People make the transition from peaceful protests and peaceful change? It is a question that not one
person can answer.
You believe it is now. It is ripe. Tactically you may be correct. The element of a left field broadside that takes advantage of the Government
wholly believing they have the People in their pocket is the advantage.
Strategically it is disastrous! Looking back to history and to how this country started, it was not those that sought freedom that were on the
offensive. We fought a defensive war. The very ideas that are being used by those we fight in Iraq and Afghanistan. The overall strategy is to
break down the public support and public stomach to continue operations.
Albeit that tensions are on the rise, there is never a solid line that will be crossed that will trigger such an event. The men that sat in the dank
taverns of New England and Philadelphia were already in conference of how to break from the Crown. Today we have people on websites thinking they
will have the support and hearts of many to follow their battle cry. Until reality sets in and they retreat back to their basements or to their loved
ones in attempts to self-preserve their only way of life.
Again, I understand the conviction, the passion and why you hold it.
