Ma'am;...Death threats for Jennifer Brunner??? Death threats for Mr. Obama???. Is that the end to it??? I doubt it... A lot of people seem to equate mad John Brown's raid on Harpers Ferry as the opening shots of the Civil War... I think the Civil War was the second American Revolution. We had our revolution, and the constitution was a counter revolution, making certain the rights of government, and property, and giving only a nod to civil rights... To an extent, it worked fine, but it endangered all Liberty with its support of slavery, so this right of property had to end. At first, the North considered leaving the union, but they gradually gained the balance of power, and when that happened, rather than go along, the South left the Union... And so, the revolution began... Does this seem right that the counter revolution began before the revolution??? Some times, the social forces gather strength, change for and against, forward and back hold until one side or the other gains strength, and that could be the end of it if the past and its agents would justly give way... Too many people hold too long onto the past... Slavery never worked as a form of relationship or a form of economy... And the Masters were given their rights in the counter revolution, and they were, for the most part, well within their rights, as written, until they tried to expand those rights... The violence was always there... Slavery is violence... So, at this point in time it does not matter who is killed because another death only adds to the toll. Capitalism is violence too. Like chattel slavery, wage slavery injures and kills people. I have seen them die, violent senseless deaths, not prosecuted as crime, endured... People are being removed from their rights, and from their homes... They are losing their wealth, and their hope... Am I surprised that some blame the democrats??? Not at all... Today's democrats are yesturday's whigs, cattle thieves in the parlance of England... In the dance of time they have traded places with the repubicans...And both parties are sitting on a powder keg, sharing a smoke... Violence is all around us, often just beneath the surface... I would never have believed that the republicans would be so eager to rock the roll... I never thought they would incite to violence and so threaten the peace... I would suggest to all who want war or revolution, that they are like fires... There are only two types of fires: under control, and out of control...Any person who starts a fire without the certain ability to put it out is an arsonist... The republicans should be more careful with fire... Thanks...Sweeney
