"I feel that we are all soon to be called upon to submit or stand up. If you haven’t contemplated this, I suggest you do so."

I'm not yet concerned in my small city here in Central NY State. I worked in uniform for 25 years, so submitting to anything, other than a direct order from a superior, is a very hard task for me. My ancestors are DAR Patriots, so I have their fighting genes in my blood. But at 72, and with probably not too many more years to live based on those family genes and family health history, I'm not going to panic yet, and cause myself any more headaches, or stress than I need to. I'm more worried about my youngest son being a cancer survivor at this time than I am about much else.

That sounds like a fine approach.

I didn’t mean to be snippy, but the point I was trying to make is, to take a moral stand might be easier for me than it might be for someone else. If I were a young police officer with a wife, two kids, a morgage and car payments....well, I might not be so cavalier.
