We will not be ‘loaded in boxcars’, either literally or figuratively. We are not asleep. We are watching. The soap box and the ballot box are still (although dwindling) viable options. Those who are prepared to use the next box know that it would be a horrible thing to have to do. It will be done if necessary, I have no doubt of that, but the alternatives are not yet depleted.
Although the soap box and ballot box are being attacked and eroded by the powers that be, as of now, despite attempts, they have not been able to touch the last box. IMHO, that will be the tipping point, and one that I still have some doubts will ever be reached, because, in fact, by their more and more blatant attempts to do it, they are actually inspiring us to become stronger in that regard.
If it has to happen, it will. But patriots as a group are level-headed and hesitant to be extreme. When we are pushed across that line, however, heaven help us all.
I know that I am somewhat vague here, but given recent developments, I believe that is wise.
Don’t give up. Prepare. Watch. Wait. Pray.
Love,

I disagree, most respectfully. Yesterday's vote on Net Neutrality will severely damage the soap box. Even that which remains will be limited, and no longer effective. Sure, I can go stand on a street corner and preach, but what good will it do? Most will just think, "What a kook!".
The ballot box has been sorely compromised as well. We voted the heck out of the GOP this last election, and now we're getting stabbed in the back. Tells me the ballot box doesn't work anymore.
The last is horrible, but will never be used. We are far too afraid to do so. Anyone that does or has is immediately labeled "kook" "crazy" and most certainly "criminal", and that's what WE call them.
"If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or your arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen." - Samuel Adams
