I find it a shame that more people don't use their right of vote to imply change... but with the party issues growing deeper in our government and the common class being ushered behind.. you kind of figure sooner or later there will be a snap.

Violence is not the answer.. but it may become a means for some.

MADISON (AP) A spokeswoman says Wisconsin Gov. Jim Doyle is among the governors who have received letters from an anti-government group calling for him to leave office.

Administration spokeswoman Carla Vigue says the governors office received the letter Wednesday. She says the governors security detail is aware of the letter and closely monitoring his safety.

Federal authorities say more than 30 governors have received the letters saying if they dont leave office within three days they will be removed. A group calling itself the Guardians of the free Republics sent the letters.

Vigue says theres no actual threat of violence in the letter, but the FBI is warning the groups call could provoke violence by others.

It's still Free Speech.

It's only a threat when someone is specified and an act of violence is specified. Like you can say "all <fill in the blank> must die as they're worthless and an inferior race" but once you put a name in there and follow it with a threat of violence, it's Free Speech up until then.

Maybe even a little historical party in Boston could be referenced.

There are times I'd look the other way with violence too. Like certain people who screwed future generations out of $700 billion. If they got strung up, I'll look the other way. "Nope, didn't see anything. Some chick was flashing her boobs and that's where I was looking."

Free Speech. Use it or lose it.

And if I'm not mistaken, certain people got tar and feathered in that event that you were referencing. Don't quote me on that though, but if I remember correctly.

Like I said, I'd look the other way.

I guess it's ok too protest at a service man's funeral, but not ok to tell your elected officials that we are tired of them doing what THEY want and not what WE want.
And no, i'm NOT saying violence is the answer.

The American Revolution was violent. And it was the answer.

There is a breaking point.

Yes.. THIS.

Violence isn't the answer for EVERYthing, but in some instances, it very well could be an option. And sometimes, it's the best option.

Someone once observed that if the Founding Fathers were alive today, rope would be the hottest commodity going.

On the other hand, there is no freedom in a country in which people are stringing up the leaders. (See Revolution, French.) In the American revolution, leaders were often strung up in effigy, even tarred and feathered and rode out of town on a rail, but to my recollection, none were ever lynched.

I don't see someone being prosecuted for this based on the wording implied in the article, but it's a great way to have a lengthy interrogation to make sure you're not planning something. There's no specific threat of violence, but it's damn close.

Speaking of threats... I have a bumper sticker that says, "I oppose aerial hunting, but I would shoot Sarah Palin from a helicopter." Am I going to get thrown in prison? :lol: It's satire, right?
