No idea what you mean. Considering the alternative, yes, yes it is.

The alternative being...what, exactly?

Paying taxes?

[Xantalos]

Nope. Trust me, in other places maybe, but not in the states.

[Bauglir]

One of the few things I'm less eager to see than police brutality is militia brutality.

[LordSlowpoke]

Guy's probably a total dumbass, but the whole "militia groups defying federal agents" thing is really cool, whatever the reason.

not exactly cool, but hilarious? one hell of a lot

[Yoink]

This is a pretty.. scary mindset, to say the least. I don't think you've seen much of the US, mate. Did you even read the links on the last page?

I read the first one, but if it will make you happy I'll read the other one as well.

The alternative being...what, exactly?

All-powerful governments continuing to do as they please and arresting anyone who disagrees with them?

No, the alternative is that the guy gets his cows removed from somewhere they're not legally allowed to be.

Which is what will happen eventually, after operation "wait till everyone with the guns gets bored and leaves cause they ain't gettin paid and the media stops givin a shit" happens.

That's why I'd like to see the police outfitted with a couple of tanks. Just to drive up to that dude's front door with an eviction note pinned to the main turret.

They don't even want to evict him AFAIK. They want to evict his cows.

Tranquilisers and trailers in the dark?

I couldn't care less about where the guy can put his cows, in fact I hate him on principal- he's a rancher after all, part of a vast industry of cruelty and suffering.
But the simple fact that he (and more importantly, his supporters) have the courage to stand up to the full wrath of the government over what they believe to be right, well, for that I have a great deal of respect for them. Should be interesting to see where things go from here.


Anyway, don't have anything in particular to rage about at the moment. I guess the fact that there are two great gigs on on Saturday, and I'm supposed to be catching a train to help my mother with a garage sale on the same day? Yeah... now that I think of it, that certainly counts. Blargh. Can't really beg out of helping, though, since I agreed to do it last week.

[Graknorke]

Uh, Yoink, they're not really standing up to the "full wrath of the government".
They're not going to send in the army just for some cows. It's people overreacting and then trying to set themselves up as the local government or similar authority.

[Yoink]

Sure. But it's a good start.
The agents did back down, after all. That's the main thing.

[TD1]

Also, standing up to the government is standing up to what most people want.

[Yoink]

That... is the most ridiculous statement I've read all day. Thanks for the laugh, I suppose?
Maybe once that would have been correct, but certainly not in this day and age century. Or the last one.
