Perhaps AU is talking about another mission entirely
The Alliance said they were gonna waltz through Serenity Valley. And we choked 'em with those words. We've done the impossible, and that makes us mighty.

Out of curiousity Fremdfirma, what exactly were you "right" about? Since we don't know the motivations of the person who set off the bomb yet, aren't you jumping to conclusions? I mean, obviously you default to the "anarchy" angle, but couldn't it just have been some rich, white kid from the Upper West Side playing Truth or Dare? Unless, that is, you know something that we don't about this bombing...

estead, a while back I pointed out that if things continued on the vein they were, with less and less hope of fixing many of our current problems via official channels, that some day soon americans would resort to...
A - making nihilist last stands on a foreclosed property.
(happened, in houston)
B - active sabotage and terrorism against corporations by americans.
(happened, at Paypal HQ)
C - americans blowing up apparatus of the state.
(incident in question)
I sincerely hope that I am wrong about how bad it could possibly get, since the idea of another Oklahoma City doesn't exactly fill my heart with warm fuzzies, and I am also concerned that the folk who for whatever reason are doing this stuff, are playing right into the hands of an administration just waiting for a good enough excuse.
I wasn't predicting by reason, but simply historical pattern when things get bad enough that people lose faith in making change through nonviolent means.
Thing is, most folk confuse anarchy and chaos, much as I despise the status quo, the idea of a total fragmentation of our society and the severing of the social bonds that hold us together as a people with or without Government involvement just plain fills me with horror.
Imma Kropotkinist, and also of the belief that before people as a whole can function effectively within an anarchic society they would have to "grow up" mentally, socially, and emotionally a little more than they already are, cause for all our civilisation and technology, from a socio-emotive perspective we're still painting on the cave walls.
We don't need to demolish Government, simply outgrow it.

It cannot be said enough, those who do not learn from history, are doomed to endlessly repeat it
