****The risk is we get so annoyed we start shooting at them, and then we are no better than they****
I once read a treatise about this subject that talked about the difference between intelligent societies and lesser societies. Lesser societies always gravitated to the Strong Man and acquiesced, while more advanced societies rejected the Strong Man by being briefly more violent than the Strong Man and returning freedom.
This is the challenge, men do not give up power easily.
I hope you are correct.
