Michelle and I talked last night about my support for a losing cause and the likelyhood of quick demise over it.
She made several statements, care to try them on for size?
- legislators aren't a problem, uneducated voters are. politicians just do what the voter tell them to do
- we can't win using civil disobedience or education till everyone feels sorry for us, they way they did for blacks and jews
- gun owners (esp. on forums like Bower's, ar15 and, if less so, TFL) present an image of bigoted, violent trailer trash, which further makes peaceful people dislike them
- if I talk about ever using my guns for fighting, I need a shrink...because taking on US Army would get me killed w/o any useful results
- she feels that the IRA has MANY more members than the US resistance and that we won't last two days, should it ever get ugly
- in short, educate the public on grassroots level and play off martyrs (people killed or injured either by govt. thugs or those left w/o means of defense)
Anyway, anyone care to take this thread further?

PS: Oh, there's one other item. She feels that I have a cavalier attitude towards life. I stated that, while starting a war now is counterproductive, I have no *ethical* objections to eliminating JBTs and the folks sending them on their missions. She felt that this was a sufficient proof of my insanity. (FYI, she felt the same way about offing gestapo employees when they are not in uniform -- "and we are in America, not some barbaric country fifty years ago!").
