JJR: "First thing we do is kill all the lawyers" ...

But in reality, you are right, I think that right about now, most of the people I know are loaded and ready, but they haven't a clue where to aim.

I tend to agree that the scenario might play out similar to "Unintended Consequences", but even then the outcome might be up for grabs unless things escalate quickly.

Mind you, I'm *not* advocating anyone starting this thing off. I'd rather see it resolved at the ballot box, but history has a tendency to repeat itself, and right now, we seem to be in that spiral that has usually ended in "revolution" or a type of feudalism ... and the "revolution" ending only worked once, for slightly over 200 years (so far).
