We have a Constitutional responsibility and obligation to reform government when it becomes tyrannical. That includes taking away the monopoly of force the government enjoys. We all want to avoid the use of force, but every other way requires COMMUNICATION! Lawsuits, convention of states, rallies, organizations, news, media, all require clear channels of communication to function. How many times have we been betrayed by silver tonged liars and Judases? If all speech is compromised by strategic noise, demoralization, and lies, how can we ever rely on methods that require speech alone?
