I don't go to concerts and avoid large gatherings for this very reason. Mob mentalities can so easily get out of hand and what starts peaceable can turn violent in minutes, especially when anarchists are looking for such occasions to disturb the right of peaceable assembly.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02112311794464985288noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-196554259323465442.post-57202218623468807472011-03-28T08:12:17.141-07:002011-03-28T08:12:17.141-07:00Guy In Ohio said_

The question is, how will our authorities handle it?<br /><br />Personally, I'm on the side of the authorities, because I enjoy law and order in my life. If violent protests erupt here, I strongly support the use of ANY means necessary to suppress them IMMEDIATELY. I lived through the riots of the sixties and I have no interest in seeing anything like that again in America.<br /><br />In my opinion, nobody's life in America today is miserable enough at the moment to justify violent protests against the government or anyone else. We have a great system of government, and there are avenues to address any true injustices or inequities in our society. As long as our system of government remains intact, violence is completely unnecessary. Anyone who participates in or encourages violent protests, domestic terrorism, or anarchy is an enemy of the people and should be dealt with harshly.<br /><br />Of course, this is a very fluid situation, and one wrong move on the part of our government could change things very quickly. <br /><br />A few more blatant judicial overrides, a corrupted election, or an attempt usurp the Constitution and ban firearms, and the attitudes of normally passive and responsible citizens like me could change quite quickly.<br /><br />These are interesting times we're living in, aren't they?Guy in Ohiohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03427016567260606130noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-196554259323465442.post-76196641313729938582011-03-27T21:33:08.678-07:002011-03-27T21:33:08.678-07:00No good can possibly result from this intervention...No good can possibly result from this intervention in an insurrection in Libya. The population of Libya has far outgrown its ability to feed itself, and only survives by selling crude oil to other nations and importing food. The high price for food was a major reason for this uprising itself.<br /><br />Democracy can be imposed on a nation only with years of occupation (see Germany and Japan post-WWII)and close supervision for even more years.<br /><br />Those missiles NATO is firing may not be directly killing all that many civilians, but what is to come because of this intervention will kill far more than otherwise. Where is the airlift to provide food to the survivors after the carnage to come? Famine is always accompanied by carnage.LarryOldtimerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10811006386363706079noreply@blogger.com
