What? No. Well not directly anyway. I was referring to my perception of a free society collapsing from within and, the distressing part, those directly responsible for ensuring it endures seem to be saying our safety and security is about two notches more important than our liberty. Combine that with politically influential corporate engines and you're not exactly brewing tea.
Since you seem a little bent on spanking me because you read revolution and firmly seem to believe that the power of the vote can .. secure our free people their freedoms forever than so be it. Bullet or ballot - I don't really give a fuck as long as mine are not made to succumb to another or bend to an ill formed authority.
What I was talking about was an accelerated path moving faster by doing little or, worse, nothing. A path that I believe the initial founders both foresaw and tried to prevent. We can either vote our way out of it, somehow, continue to vote our way onto it or not vote and watch. To the point of what you're saying, sure, I don't disagree, necessarily. "The voters" however can only vote until they cannot vote or the effect has been compromised or, en masse, they rebel and attempt change via different means, a different vote. Just because there is a certain path that you would prefer, voting, as would many, it does not mean that that path is secure or effective or will remain to be so indefinitely.
And to this: "If you disagree you can vote differently, but it doesn't mean your voice should be louder than theirs." - nor does it mean I should be silent. One vote is a whisper. A government seemingly bent on working around many votes and working for and with financially backed whisperers, all seemingly in a direction that is diametrically opposed to some founding principals, then you might be on a path towards trouble. Do not hide behind the concept of a false peace when the security of your person, freedoms and liberties reach a point that demands that its defense be made by blood and life.
Vote!! By all means. And encourage others to do so because, yes, for now, it is the best and most reasonable means of preventing an armed and direct defense. Run, hide or stand but know that standing on a vote is precarious at best. There are always options. Ensuring that you continue to have them is a good direction. We'll all know when and if the time for voting has run its course in this country. That would be dreadful, indeed. Nonetheless, it can happen and under certain circumstance probably should. Let's try and ensure those circumstances are not realized because if they are then you'll likely be voting with the screams of a collective people that can no longer protect freedom with a pen - results be damned.
