>CW II ping list. Not sure if this qualifies, it is a wobbler in so far as it indicates a severe breakdown in the social order when people start shooting judges. OTOH if you just view it as a wackjob's wingnut coming loose, it indicates nothing. The truth is probably somewhere in the middle.

Probably ought to be on the *Drega list*, though it's a possible indicator of likely future additional CWII activity- and an indication of a growing belief that if you want justice instead of *administration of the law,* you'll have to take care of it yourself. It's hardly surprising that some folks will take the law into their own hands when it's been dumped into the street, ignored by those who think that they ARE the law- and are above it.

For those who don't know who Carl Drega was: WHO WAS CARL DREGA?

The Ballad of Carl Drega

[Jack Black]

Great book. You have to look close at the cover to see that it's an AR-10, not a musket that is being passed to the militia man.

Wow. When they pushed Carl too far, he pushed back. Guess the "powers that be" didn't expect that...

I liked Dregas style. It all happened about 30 miles from my house. He just decided to go down shooting if he could not be free.

Town Officials where I live are very careful with people, even now years after it happened. He definitely brought about changes around here locally on how justice is served municipally.

The site about Carl Drega says something very depressing about where we are at in today's America.

Every time I enter a court house or some other government building I wonder how we allowed our government to become so repressive that the public servants we pay for, and who are sometimes our neighbors, became so afraid of those they supposedly serve.

Perhaps teh public servants are aware, to a greater degree than the citizens, of just how much they are abusing the citizens.

After all, they "service" the public all day, every day. An individual so "serviced" only has his personal experience to tell him something has gone seriously wrong.

Perhaps the answer is to close down most of government agencies. No family court, and the family will have to actually raise their own children without state supervision.

No family services agencies, and taxes can be lowered so that parents can once again raise their own children their way.
