and I am not alone. What you are saying about the current situation not being able to stand much longer helps too. It reminds me of what one of my professors said back in the 80s when that movie, Red Dawn came out. About the Soviets trying to take over the U.S.

He said it would be ten times harder for a dictator to take over a country who have experienced having the amount of freedoms we have. He said countries used to a corrupt monarchs really didn't have many rights to begin with, so they were basically aleady conditioned to accept it.

He said he thought if push came to shove and people in the U.S. started to lose their rights one by one eventually they'd fight to the death to get them back. He said the push back might not come right away be he said he had no doubt it would come eventually. He also said we are too large and diverse a population for anyone to successfully control for any lengthy period of time.

Hope this is all true!
