And lo, it came about, that on Sun, 10 Aug 2003 21:25:48 GMT in
rec.crafts.metalworking , Gunner was inspired to utter:


Notice the Lefties all starting the mantra (including Huffington the
Space Cadet), that the recall process has outlived its usefulness and
that option should be removed from the voters?

Chuckle...they want to take away the only Emergency Stop button that
they have left the voters. Some Leftist was babbling, on the radio
the other day, how the (in effect) the voters should not be allowed to
have any say over how the politicians operate.

Who was it who said that if you make peaceful change impossible, then
you've made violent change inevitable?

Had a friend in college who made the novel observation that back in the
days of the divine right of Kings, the occasional assassination did bring a
certain "democratic" element to the system.

I rather think, that in any election, the loosers are immediately
taken out and hung from the nearest lamp post. It would be Darwin in
action.

Naw.

"Snout counting" is just that, a quick nose count to see how things might
stack up if things were to turn violent.

When the political system is considered illegitimate by enough people (the
quantitative answer is left as an exercise for the student), change will occur.
Either dissent will be stifled, or the system will be "reformed". It may be
reformed in fire and blood, but reformed it will be.
