My solution can be summed up as "a noose on every tree, a gibbet from every lamp post pour l'encouragement des autres." Which is probably one of the reasons why I'm on the list.

There's no bread, let them eat cake
There's no end to what they'll take
Flaunt the fruits of noble birth
Wash the salt into the earth

But they're marching to Bastille Day
La guillotine will claim her bloody prize
Free the dungeons of the innocent
The king will kneel and let his kingdom rise

Bloodstained velvet, dirty lace
Naked fear on every face
See them bow their heads to die
As we would bow as they rode by

And we're marching to Bastille Day
La guillotine will claim her bloody prize
Sing, oh choirs of cacophony
The king has kneeled, to let his kingdom rise

Lessons taught but never learned
All around us anger burns
Guide the future by the past
Long ago the mould was cast

For they marched up to Bastille Day
La guillotine claimed her bloody prize
Hear the echoes of the centuries
Power isn't all that money buys


- Rush, Bastille Day

Americans are kinda fat to be marching anywhere, don't you think?

Most probably would prefer to watch the coverage of the revolution on CNN.

It's not just the TSA, spiff - it's the whole DHS.

Anecdote: Of course, this is hearsay. A friend of mine has a former roommate who is now a "regional head" or some such at the DHS. He tells me (and I believe him - he's not the sort to make things up) that his former roommate, after promotion to regional head, had to go to "torture camp" on a military base in Georgia. There were actual detainees there, about to be deported, and this guy had to learn to properly torture them. Evidently he puked while doing it one day and was later told by his instructor that he was a natural.

How's that for awful?

Spiff! :D Still the same I see.

Unfortunately, it will never change. Even if all the terrorists are wiped out. Once gooberment acquires power, it rarely gives it back. Kinda like hoping for the IRS to eliminate itself.

Well it depends, if you can partake in the revolution while waiting for your 1000 calorie coffee at Starbucks, in a mega-size SUV at the drive through window, then you will get a lot of American's to be part of it... otherwise, I think your CNN comment is bang on.
