| | Nice job, Sam. Dead nuts right on.
There are lots of things not possible at the point of a gun; benevolence, charity, compassion.
I think it is time to stop allowing equivalency between a politics based on free association and a politics based on forced association. The root of politics implies 'polite', implies 'without force or violence.'
A politics that is based on, or advocates, or embraces forced association is not politics.
Americans have been hornswagled into believing there is a political equivalency, that the choice between free association and forced association is just a matter of democratic choice in our 'free' political context.
It is not, and it is time for America to have that open debate and cough up the phlegm left over from waging the Cold War.
