re overreacting was re once tapped your code is no good any more in article fplpdh bwwbedwenj transarc com lyle seaman transarc com writes jhan debra dgbt doc ca jerry han writes somebody asked me what was wrong about overreacting in cases such as this that was probably me i meant only that nobody has overreacted yet it seemed to me that jerry was suggesting that people are currently overreacting and i vehemently disagree i see a lot of talk but not much action i see now that i misunderstood jerry s position the reason is very simple how many people do you want to die in a riot in a new civil war everybody is jumping up and down and screaming about it and i m worried that people are going to reach for their hammers and rifles before their pens and paper not this bunch they ll just bitch on the net for a while and then go back to lurking can people work within the system before trying to break it examine your history books and find out how many armed revolutions led to democratic or democratic style governments i think you ll only find one in over five thousand years of written history actually it s not quite that bad but it s close i think everyone would just as soon work within the system the presence of the possibility of using the bullet box instead of the ballot box is supposed to be a deterrent by keeping the price of massive abuse unacceptable however governments being what they are sure would like to remove that deterrence which will make the need for armed citizens all the more great you don t need em till you don t have em then i think we can be more accurately called subjects instead of citizens the idea of the people being sovereign over the government is sure not in vogue in the beltway these days that is for sure the administration is saying we know best we will tell you what you need or don t need after that old fashioned anachronism called the bill of rights is not needed in these enlightened times look we collectively have the power to throw the bums out but we don t use it we clearly don t need to go burning things down but we not if the government has its way there are eight bills before congress that will either ban tax exhorbitantly or register all useful weapons in the hands of the unconnected us subject can you say just for a box of cartridges for practice one of the current administrations top priority items is to disarm all who are not well connected or that work for the government clearly do need to throw at least some of the bums out unfortunately the bums have learned to target only small groups of people at a single time so the masses won t react and throw them out eventually the masses will react unless the bums cease their relentless encroachment on liberty and despoilment of the economy the sooner it happens the less the damages will be i don t want to live in a war zone either i want to see the bums thrown out before they do some real damage another tactic is to toss out so many outrages at once that nobody can give justice to them all like is being done right now lyle transarc grant street the gulf tower pittsburgh pat rwing uucp without prejudice ucc pat myrto seattle wa if all else fails try uunet pilchuck rwing pat wisdom only two things are infinite the universe and human stupidity and i am not sure about the former albert einstien
