    Bingo. We’ve been building toward this moment for decades. The pessimist in me doesn’t think we’ll be able to turn things around without massive upheaval and bloodshed.

      If the French could do it, we certainly can as well. At least… I hope so.

          We’re past that point. They’ve made their decision already by doing everything they can, including “reinterpreting” existing laws, to prevent us from handling things peacefully.

          I don’t know. That seems pretty fragile these days with so many people barely scraping by. Sure most of us have enough for food but what else do we have? And they seem to be making no effort in improving our quality of life. In fact they are deliberately sabotaging it.
