   I've got the living room demos, just me, two keyboards, a microphone and the   
   TC Helicon VoiceLive Play ;)   
   I could always send you that tune (State Of Mind), 'unplugged', sort of,   
   version if you'd like to hear it in a 4 track demo ;)   
   I kind of got a vibe that you might fine the  lyrics of that tune somewhat   
   appropriate considering the situation you were describing ;)

   That's the way it always goes - obnoxious people become more and more   
   intolerant until those doing the suffering because of them finally decide   
   they've had enough and they're not to tolerate *them* anymore! Hence the   
   tune "Taking It Back", as in the last lines:   
      
   we're through putting up with them and that's a fact   
      
   Sic Semper Tyrannis we're taking it back!

   I'd like to be able to believe that, but I just can't.

   Hillary is, or at least was the big Saul Alinsky fan ;)   
   But a good protest song can do the same thing, which is why it's so   
   important to keep writing them!

   But such an Unethical approach only Cheapens the results, IF the 'cause' is   
   also cheap, but somehow, they always forget that.   
   However, on the other hand, if the  cause is a Worthy one, the motivation   
   and encouragement to fight a Worthy fight will be a lot more productive, of   
   Worthy results!   
      
   As for 'radicals' taking over, One of my two favorite books (the  other   
   being George Orwell's 1984), Aldous Huxley's Brave New World, covers that   
   situation in great detail...and of course, it's scary!   
   And remember it's NOT the Revolutionaries who are radical, it's the Tyrants   
   whose Vileness left them no choice but to revolt!!!

   The historical track record, doesn't support that very well, though it is a   
   pleasant thought and miracles are always possible.

   Yep, it's a CORRUPT process known as "judicial activism" and "legislating   
   from the bench", which of course are Blatant Violations of our   
   Constitution's Separation Of Powers!!!

   A very large part of the so-called 'laws' of the De Facto Regime being   
   passed off as 'government' in this country, is made entirely out of thin   
   air - because it couldn't be made Lawfully, because it's UNLAWFUL!!!

   That's precisely why the Founders made certain we'd have a Bill Of Rights,   
   which included the Right to have and use the Force necessary to Correct it   
   i.e. the  Second Amendment!!!
