Long sleeves short sleeves and bear arms: militias and the protection of liberty.

It's only a matter of time before we have to unite in order to harness the vast size of our continent and tap into its immense resources both human and natural. As we move hastily towards that end, what does the future of the continent look like and which parts of the U.S constitution would we be first to adopt. What do we view as the most important part of the U.S constitution and it's relevance in our context?

I think that the most important part of the constitution is the second amendment and it reference to right to bear arms especially in regards to the protections of liberties. But in a much larger context, the reference to a militia in defense of those rights. 

There have been several recent notable examples of people who deviated from the path and took up those arms in protest and who as a result were pursued and violently gunned down. What this means is that even if the American knows that he has the right to protect and guard himself against what he views as violations to liberty, he must prepare himself for a system that is much better equipped and better trained and that holds much more sway with a massive media machine. I speak here in reference to a former member of the LAPD who went rogue and strangely received quite a lot of support from citizens on social media. Even if he was well trained he was no match for the crew that was sent to rein him in. You have the right to bear arms and to form a militia in defense of liberty but will you be able to stand against the force that represents the other side?

Maybe our response to the drive towards this process has been a little slow but many have responded...but I fear that our doubts about terrorism and the change in language and landscape that took place post 911 has brought about a fear of all sorts of protest even armed protest so that no one dares raise the alarm of truth with the knowledge of the consequences. 

The nature of modern warfare has changed dramatically but there are some fundamentals that have remained. Even an army as large and well equipped as the U.S army still feels rather incapacitated because of an inability to put boots in the ground. Maybe this is a veiled reference to the old Nations Story about a man who must walk the land in order to receive it as his inheritance. 

While seeming to deviate, the arrival of the drone in African should be writing on the wall for those of us who never dreamt of a day when we would see an occupying force on our lands even under the guise of building hospitals. Should we be looking at the the reported high incidence of airborne diseases as a sign of a new from of chemical warfare? I hope not. 

While not completely certain of how the cards are going to stack out, I still see a proliferation of arms...which we must counter with some form of civic education. In some circles this is a much better option that the crude weapons which a largely agrarian group would resort to if pushed.
