You know, Roachboy, I'm truly beginning to get tired of your relentless ad-hominem attacks upon the militia movement, both as a group and as individuals. You have pretty obviously never actually listened to any; I'd be very surprised if you'd even -met- any. Your screeds sound like something cut-and-pasted from a vitriolic mixture of Morris Dees, Ward Churchill, and Rosie O'Donnel. Kindly refrain from putting thoughts in people's heads and words in people's mouths. If you want to ask questions, groovy. Ask away. I'm setting myself up here, but go ahead. But kindy remember to ask someone what they think instead of -telling- them what they think. If you bothered to do this on occaision, you might find yourself having an easier time dealing with people who, beleive it or not, are your natural allies. All the "militia set" want is to be left to Hell alone. You can establish all the Communist paradises you want and, as long as you don't try to force them to join up or support you, they'll leave you completely to yourselves. Libertarian ideaology does not demand that everone be libertarian; all it demands is that people respect the rights of others to do as they like as long as they are not harming other unconsenting parties. And the militiamen would defend your right to set up a Commune with their lives; indeed, they would be doing just that if their fight ever got started to begin with.
So please, lay off the scientifically-worded smears on these people. It's nothing but a way to discount their perspective by marginalizing them internally and externally, particularly their mental capabilities and rationality. Sound familiar?
