I am sorry to hear of that, Ms. Nonymous, and moved to try again. I don’t mind my words being reasonably subject to more than one interpretation, but a clean miss is upsetting. Especially since I just came back from a couple of weeks in the hospital and I know I left a few of my marbles there.

The short form answer is I predict violence. Whether it is in the streets or long term guerrilla warfare, you don’t change politics so radically in a nation that is armed to the teeth without some violent push back.

Some time when you are up for some humor, find yourself a translation of the Russian and Chinese recognition of “rights.” The most expansive statement of rights in the world currently is in the South African constitution, but what US law teaches is the important thing is not the words but the praxis. We are in danger of joining the club of rights in the law books failing to govern mayhem in the streets.
