Geeez, two days ago you and Jes were ready to lock and load and start shooting. WTF?

I did?

I'm not one who is normally given to violent revolution.. That's a last resort for many reasons.

Not the least of which is international.. Can you imagine what the world would do watching the US slip into chaos?

There's only two authorities here which can offer sufficient promises to prevent international action.. The elected government and the US military.

Domestically, what's you're really talking about is a coup.. And it would be very difficult to predict who would come out on top of that one and why.. and how.

My guess is the US military would eventually end up in charge.. and what would happen next is anyone's guess.

Then there's the economic fallout.. it would be global. We may never regain our former influence.

For those reasons, I believe a violent overthrow is a bad idea.. Reserved as an absolute last resort.
