[QUOTE="Werewolf, post: 2055580, member: 239"] In response to the OP... Yes. But that doesn't mean one has a responsibilty to die which is what it seems like a lot of posters want to do or believe inevitable. It's all about living people not dieing. Living so you can serve the cause. Living so you can beat the tyrants. Living so your family can enjoy the fruits of the victory. But no victory can be won if the warriors all give up their lives stupidly and unnecessarily. Meeting the JBT's at the front door and dieing in a hail of leaden futlility is STUPID. Dieing unecessarily and with out purpose or positive cause instead of dieing and making it count is utterly STUPID. If one wants to stand up by his lonesome and die fighting a squad of JBT's coming for your guns then do it! Go ahead - but do it knowing that you will be dieing in vain for no other reason than satisfying your own vanity. If one wants to die fighting the good fight then save your efforts for a time when you can do it with purpose. Save it for a time when you can serve the cause. Save it for a time when you can take out more of them than they can of you and yours. Save it for a time when you and your comrades can band together and really hurt the bastards. Can one man's dying make a difference - sure it can - Patrick Henry comes to mind. But standing up against a squad of JBT's ain't the same thing as what PH did: NOT - EVEN - CLOSE. That man went down fighting for the cause and he [B]made[/B] a difference. Going down fighting at your front door while your family watches and then gets carried away over your dead body to the reeducation camps is STUPID and serves no purpose. I can't say that enough. Dieing without purpose or good cause is STUPID! Don't throw away your lives unnecessarily. That's what the bastards want. Too many of you want to go down in a thoughtless emotional blaze of glory standing up to the man - dying for the cause. Well guess what? If you all do that then who'll be left to fight the real battles that will make a difference and will win the war? Who? - no one! That's who because you will all have died fighting the squads when they showed up at your front door. During the revolutionary war about a 1/3 of us were rebels, a 1/3 neutral and a 1/3 pro british. Would it be any different today? That's a choice each will have to make when the time comes. When the time comes - if ever - many will die and do it willingly. But - if they are to win then every life will have to have been given with purpose because there won't be enough to just toss them away unnecessarily if they are to overcome. What I am trying to convince you all of is that a live fighter is of more use to the cause than a dead martyr (and calling those of you that want to meet the JBT's at your front doors martyrs is being very, very generous). Don't throw your lives away fighting battles you can't win. Save your life for the day when giving it up for the cause will have purpose and impact. Don't let your balls write checks the cause can ill aford to cash. [/QUOTE]
