You ever read "Unintended Consequences" by John Ross?
Good example of 'my line'. -- A clear effort by our governments to deprive us of any of our fundamental individual rights would involve me in an insurrection or revolution.

Thank you very much for that very frank answer.
You might want to think about your last answer. Did you really mean to include my rights?

I think a lot about what I write. I wrote "us", and I meant ~us~..

Again in an effort to satisfy my curiosity, is this thing about rights just for you to decide. Will you leave me on my own to stand up to tyrants, or is it to be a community affair?

I'm an individualist, and don't much like "community affairs", and 'majority rule'.

Who decides just when the shooting starts?

For me, -- I do.

Then don't live in or near a community.
