Nothing less than a guerilla war seems necessary to restore something akin to the original constitutional balance in the U.S. But where to recruit these people? My suggestion: the terminally ill.
Many TI come to the table with a 'gift', the certainty of impending death and for some the possibility of fearlessness for physical harm or imprisonment.
Mr. Dumbass appears to be channeling the Earth Liberation Front: Quotes from: http://www.stopecoviolence.com/words.htm ------------ "If I knew I had a fatal disease, I would definitely do something like strap dynamite on myself and take out Grand Canyon Dam. Or maybe the Maxxam Building in Los Angeles after it's closed up for the night." - Darryl Chernery, Northern California Earth Firster, CBS News Sixty Minutes, March 4, 1990 "Are you terminally ill with a wasting disease? .Don't go out with a whimper; go out with a bang! Undertake an ecokamikaze mission." - Excerpt from an article that ran in the Sept. 1989 issue of the Earth First Journal, urging terminally ill activists to go on "eco-kamikaze" suicide missions ---------------- Google on "eco-kamikaze" for more. It's worth noting that despite over a decade of this rhetoric, not a single terminally ill American has done this, so far as I am aware. The *only* even vaguely simlar cases I'm aware of are in India and Sri Lanka, where young Hindu widows (who, in traditional Hindu society have very dim prospects for a happy life) are recruited as suicide bombers by the Tamil Tigers. I think Rajiv Ghandi's assassin was such a woman. Peter Trei
