It's definitely time for the people to get involved up close and personal. Every FReeper and reader of these pages should call their reps and senators tomorrow. Also wouldn't hurt to flood the whitehouse. Swamp their phone lines and faxes. Flood them with email and snail mail. Visit their offices and campout on their doorsteps. Call the talkshows. Write letters to the editors. Post on bulletin boards and forums (oops). Grab your pitchforks and march in the streets. Bring your torches and prepare for an all night vigil. Hang and burn dummies in effigy*. Well, best hold off on that last part, but you get the idea. They must get a taste of our outrage!

Have you considered that it just might take somthing like this to spark the fire that finally either removes the present power structure, or leads to drastic yet orderly change?

I have pointed out to friends and family for years the following 3 questions over and over again...they can always answer the first two and they always answer them the same.

Its the last question that they are afraid to answer...

1. Over the last 25 years has government grown larger and more intrusive OR smaller and less intrusive into the private lives and rights of the individual?

2. Given that you agree that it has grown larger and more intrusive, do you think the pace of that growth will: diminish, stay steady, or grow?

3. Given that you agree it will stay steady or grow, at what point will you draw your line in the sand and say enough is enough?

Nobody wants to answer the last of the three questions. Nobody knows what their line in the sand is.

Whats your line in the sand Jim?
