Discrimination victims can vote, but they are vastly outnumbered at the polls by fat old ladies who watch soap operas, play bingo, read tabloids and don't know the metric system. The fat old ladies insist on voting wrong, and that's not the fault of the discrimination victims. If the fat old ladies see ACTIONS HAVE CONSEQUENCES, (e.g. cops killed trying to arrest underage drinkers) they might stop voting wrong. Only then, will they give a damn. They don't give a damn about the rights of discrimination victims. All they give a damn about is gimme, gimme, gimme, more Social Security, more Medicare, more housing subsidy. Armed resistance is morally justified if the government tries to violate the rights of the people. ["That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these Ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it."] Armed resistance is morally justified if the fat old ladies keep voting wrong. ["Nor have we been wanting in Attentions to our British Brethren. We have warned them from Time to Time of Attempts by their Legislature to extend an unwarrantable Jurisdiction over us...They, too have been deaf to the Voice of Reason and of Consanguinity."] Tom Alciere talciere@xtdl.com AllCopsSuk@aol.com
