"Soldiers are trained to kill; policemen, to use force as a last resort. Accordingly, there's a deep-rooted American hostility to the idea of using the military for domestic law enforcement."

"But all that may be about to change. After repeatedly denying they plan to undermine or alter the Posse Comitatus Act, of 1878, which makes it a criminal offense to use U.S. military forces 'to execute the laws,' Bush administration officials are starting to change their tune."

"[Thus,] there is no end to observations on the difference between the measures likely to be pursued by a minister backed by a standing army, and those of a court awed by the fear of an armed people.'"

Just look what happened in Tiananmen Square. The fedgov is looking more and more tyrannical every day. Will they stop at nothing? The scariest part is that the sheeple don't seem to notice.

When is it going to be enough? It takes a great deal of usurpation to get people to get off the a**es and stop governments from oppressing them.
