Guns, Butter, and Led Zepplin

Right.  I see your nitpicking on "in New Orleans" versus "around the area helping out in secure areas."  Understand where I misunderstood what you were trying to get across.

Red Cross is an NGO.  Operates on suffrance of Government forces.  Standard disaster relief procedures, internationally, for US forces.

As to the rest, divining intent from action, and action from intent, particularly from sketchy information, is a hazardous guessing game.

It's what got the US into Iraq.  :P

That said, I'll keep a weather eye out.  I don't doubt that any number of folks are trying to prevent certain embarassing tidbits of information out.  Trouble is, over time, it will all come out. 

A matter of when, not if.

I still contend, Doc, that now is NOT the time for armed insurrection.  Then again, if I lived in the area around New Orleans, I might possibly feel differently.

Here's an idea no one will bother to pursue:

Take those Mexican soldiers who have reportedly been sent to assist, and assign them the task of excorting, at gunpoint, a few thousand illegal aliens who reside in the Greater New Orleans area . . . back to Mexico and points south.

Hmm, need to order a new tinfoil hat . . .  :P

There is illegal stuff happening right NOW that people know about. And nothing is being done about it. It's not a matter of proving it... It's right there in the open. Like the theft of weapons from the citizens.

Liberty every now and then needs to be watered with blood. A long time ago, the Brits sought to deprive the American Colonies of arms. Soldiers were sent around to collect all arms and weapons from the farmers and what not. A group of poorly armed and poorly organised militia got together, and got beat down for standing up to the Brits. A better armed and better organised militia got together and sent the Brits packing in to the hills and a revolution started. Out of all the crimes that the British committed, depriving an entire nation of arms was the blackest. (Quoted from Ghandi)

If you take the guns away, you take away Democracy. A gun ensures a citizen has a voice.
