"peace"? — by what definition? By war like capital threats, the occupying statist theocracy infesting this land, socialists of all possible ilks and degrees, as well as despots within each of their mental / physical capacity(s) or gradation(s) dominate helots, serfs and slave with their compelled compliance, victimless crimes, government licenses, larceny with impunity (2nd plank of the communist manifesto, funny money, confiscations at will, etc.), specific / general corruption and non-recognition of inalienable rights, liberty, nature's law, and perfected allodium. Is that peace? -- Mike,, Norwalk
Was the war between the States an exception? Did the war between the States bring about the "means of peace" OR, an opportunity for despots to engage an improved system of helots, serfs and slaves? -- Mike,, Norwalk
