The law, the Constitution, the Code of Hammurabi--they're all meaningless unless someone they are being enforced. One thing is certain, though: a society will be ruled. If the people will not maintain the presence to rule themselves, then someone else will do it.

Look at your fellow pedes. First, the military was going to ride in and fix this. Now, were upset that the police are doing exactly what the police have always done instead of riding in to fix this. We fix this, or it doesn't get fixed.

So you admit defeat then?

The government has surrendered.

The government has surrendered nothing. In fact, they've claimed power prohibited to them by the Constitution. Did you notice what the Constitution has done in reply? Nothing, because it's a set of ideas.

My point is that ideas don't do anything without people to carry them forward.

Lemme guess, people are fallible, Jesus forgives them?

They've claimed more power than the Constitution ever granted them and now they are attacking the bill of rights. Like a wife beaten by her abusive authoritarian, we just come back and make it right after these many hundreds of years?

People don't need government. The people are going to find out everything and they'll make the choice for themselves.
