Kill the key grabbers and all those who support them. Isn't it exactly what Patrick Henry, Thomas Jefferson, and the others would have argued?
Amazing. Patriotism -- the last refuge of the scoundrel.
However, Patric Henry said something like "Give me liberty or give me death." That is really very different from "Kill everyone who opposes me and all their supporters." Tim doesn't seem to understand this nuance.
I think Tim is thinking of: "The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time, with the blood of patriots and tyrants." which, of course, was written by Jefferson. -- Marshall Marshall Clow Aladdin Systems <mailto:mclow@mailhost2.csusm.edu> "In Washington DC, officials from the White House, federal agencies and Congress say regulations may be necessary to promote a free-market system." -- CommunicationsWeek International April 21, 1997
