So we need to calmly and politley tell at the beast to, please - oh please stop taxing us to death?????
The only thing that will stop the beast at this point is for us to stop feeding it. Starve the beast.
You're right in that, too, of course. I didn't mean my post to be limiting except for violence.
This is a *real* war. Ultimately, God forbid, it could become a shooting war. But until the last moment I (and others, I think) will fight a real war of ideas until they come for us and we are forced to defend ourselves.
My point is that in a war you use the right tool for the right job. There's strategy and there's tactics. We need to use all the ethical tools of war at our disposal.
