I too believe in an honorable Peace (at law and liberty) and that it is still possible in this nation of States united. I continue a most active part in that struggle. I though, am not all that naive to the probable War between angry helots, serfs, slaves, and other religionists of progressivism, socialism and other despotic isms and, freemen that prefer an existence of natural law with an 'order' exemplifying such, inalienable rights, and liberty.  -- Mike, NORWALK      2
