Maybe I'm just older than many of you folks and realize that no one lives forever, some things are worth fighting and dying for, your children's and grand children's future among them. Oh man I just had a thought about the future tax structure under Amexican rule. Whew, it is going to SUCK to be a Gringo!

Well, I don't know how old you are, but I'll be 60 in a few short years, my health permitting.

Unlike apparently a lot of my contemporaries, I've been in real fights "back in the day". I've been close to death. I know my mortality, and I'm reminded of it each time I visit my surgeon.

Perhaps that's why I am reluctant to go tilting at windmills -- windmills that are armed to the hilt, and ready, willing, and able to cut to shreds anyone who gets within range.

There are doubtless people "in governemnt" who would dearly love for someone to attempt what you are advocating. It would give the perfect excuse to wrap up this nasty business of "the Bill of Rights" once and for all.

If you are not familiar with the term "Agent Provocateur", I would advise you to look it up. You don't want to see your screen name next to the definition.

I am not advocating violence, Just a show of force like the parking of aircraft carriers off the coast of another country. You are at an age to understand what I am talking about when I refer to the wussification of Americans. Forty years ago, if we saw a man downtown, (at least here in the south), walk down the street with a rifle, you'd likely say, wow, nice rifle. Now, you appear in public with a copy of guns & ammo and you are looked at wide eyed and questioned, possibly frisked, by the authorities. Second amendment indeed. What a truly wasted, useless right, (in todays time.)
