I can't help but wonder how many of these arm chair revolutionaries have drivers licenses and file valid tax returns every year.
Thoreau's 1848 essay Civil Disobedience, originally titled "Resistance to Civil Government", has had a wide influence on many later practitioners of civil disobedience. The driving idea behind the essay is that citizens are morally responsible for their support of aggressors, even when such support is required by law. In the essay, Thoreau explained his reasons for having refused to pay taxes as an act of protest against slavery and against the Mexican-American War."
but see money it like religion, only works cuz people think it's real. money is valueless paper made to make everyone a slave, oh no, but isn't money back by gold?... why yes and gold is #ing useless, at least money is part cotton and good for ass wiping and nose blowing in time of crisis.
The use of gold in modern medicine began around 1890, when the distinguished German bacteriologist Robert Koch discovered that compounds made with gold inhibited growth of the bacillus that caused tuberculosis. His work was honored with the Nobel Prize in Medicine. Since then, medical uses of gold have expanded greatly. It is used in surgery to patch damaged blood vessels, nerves, bones and membranes. And it is used in the treatment of several forms of cancer. Injection of microscopic gold pellets helps to retard prostate cancer in men. Women with ovarian cancer are treated with colloidal gold. And gold vapor lasers seek out and destroy cancerous cells without harming their healthy neighbors. Surgeons use gold instruments to clear coronary arteries. Gold-coated lasers give new life to patients with once inoperable heart conditions and tumors. Biochemists use gold to form compounds to create lifesaving drugs.

In that situation the gun is not useless it has been proven that an armed community is safer than an unarmed community.
I do understand your point but it falls sort in my belief.
Life is greater than money but so is the ability to protect ones life.

He knew when to teach when to run and promised that he would return to judge and there would be a period or great of tribulation and for christians not to kill until he returned and to prepare our hearts with love and that's what i have done.
At the same time i will prepare my arms and be ready to fight for my life.
