Hey, Hey, Hey, Eric! California isn't just California. Yeah, sure it votes Democratic every time, but not by 100% -- more like 60%, and the rest of us, we 40% number more than most of the rest of the states in the Union. That ought to count for something. Besides that, we 40% represent 100% of those willing to fight in California; so in the anarchic scenario you and Mike are discussing, we are sure to quickly take control of California and send all the Leftists further West - unless you want them in that "Conservative" State you live in. Lawrence San Jacinto, California (Yeah, it's a Leftist state, but at least it ain't got no fellah named Hillary as Senator) -----Original Message----- From: lit-ideas-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:lit-ideas-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Eric Yost Sent: Saturday, December 30, 2006 11:47 AM To: lit-ideas@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [lit-ideas] Re: Big Army versus Special Forces Mike replying to Brain: If we had no army at all, I wonder what would happen? Invasion and conquest by countries with armies. Local occupation armies fighting small groups of ex-hunter, ex-police and ex-military insurgents in the forests. Destruction of free press and imposed military censorship. Relocation camps. Slave armies. Destruction of libraries. Somewhat like Iraq only much worse. Somewhat like China under the Japanese. Somewhat like France under the Vichy. Sort of like California only faster. ------------------------------------------------------------------ To change your Lit-Ideas settings (subscribe/unsub, vacation on/off, digest on/off), visit www.andreas.com/faq-lit-ideas.html
