which i'm happy to do. non violent, non combative change and cooperation would be great, in my mind, but i'm not willing to be disarmed to work with it. Violence, or the threat of it, must always be on the table as a last resort if tyranny is attempted.

P.S. It's pretty disrespectful of you to leave John Adams off of that list.

no disrespect intended towards Mr. Adams, I just made a quick list. If I wanted to post all of the people that should be there, it would be a long damn post.
