chaim,
Good for you in calming down. One of the things that these guys do is to try to make someone like yourself nervous so that you then go and do something stupid and they can jump on you. Keep in mind that they are very frustrated right now because they really are just treading water with the sniper chap.
I'm wondering if you shouldn't try to use you being a Jew to your advantage, maybe even the ADL will help you out. Well, wishfull thinking anyway
I, too, think that getting a lawyer is something you should do NOW. I can't get over the nerve of a Fed advising someone not to get a lawyer.
As far as libertarianism goes, what positions or philosophies are you unsure or unconvinced about?
Thanks
GG
