sorry for the delay....was in the kitchen helping make some cookies and taking doggie for a walk. you know, important stuff. i already cleaned the shop up yesterday (made 4 rifle shooting benches) and transferred water around. so now i have a moment to debate a matter of the day with my friends.
i've only seen a few headlines on the DC mess.
if they really wanted to accomplish something useful, they could take a page from Gandhi and King. state your grievance and conduct peaceful, non-violent protest until the system yields to your demands and delivers reform and justice.
but the government, all governments, are given the power of the sword to impose peace and enforce the laws. you will not change those laws, and more importantly, the hearts and minds of others, simply by rioting. the state will restore peace, and you will feel the end of the sword.
