2. Our system is in need of an enema. We need to flush out the governmental system, tax codes, and laws. They have become clogged with the weight of decades of bureaucracy. Our system is a good one and shouldn't be scrapped, just brought closer to it's framework and allowed to serve it's original purpose.
3. In closing, I have taken the Oath of Enlistment that states I will defend the Constitution against all enemies, foreign and domestic. Sometimes the system can be it's own enemy. I am against a violent uprising. Our founding fathers built into the system the means to change it.
4. And for some fun viewing of anarchy at work watch the old Mel Gibson films The Road Warrior and Mad Max. B) [right][snapback]77938[/snapback][/right]
1. Evolve, or mutate? :D
2. An enema may clear the collective colon for a short while, but without a change in diet, it will clog back up rather quickly. :rolleyes:
3. My Commissioning Oath likewise, though the Posse Comitatus of 1877, and its later interpretations, generally limit actions domestic to peaceful means as citizens, rather than in uniform. (Guard excepted when Gov moblizes.) The 1933 Bonus marcher break up (MacArthur/Patton/Marshall) and some of the War on Drugs uses of the military are exceptions since the Reconstruction ended. Can't remember if the 50's school intergration was Guard or Active troops.
4. Aye, back when Mel was not a Hollywood Icon.
