apparently Greeks feel civil disobedience is NOT the only tool left.

Regime change can be dirty but it isn't civil disobedience and it definitely stops in their tracks those who are removed.

Sometimes that's how the dice gotta roll.

@ayguey100 Well you say "no" to my response and then repeat what I said...so... I guess we agree on Ron Pauls position but maybe disagree on what is correct. I wont say giving the power to state governments is perfect but it divides power and allows the public to move and live in any state they want. The closer we bring the power closer to home the easier it is to account for those powers and the less compromise on Principles. In my opinion.

@cskipper65 no he doesn't. He may not want the federal government, but he's all for state legislatures' rights to tell us what to do.

@ayguey100 Everything you said sounds like the opposite of what Ron Paul wants. He does not want to tell you what to do. You can organize how ever you want as long as it does not undermine others rights. You are a Chomsky fan for sure but Chomsky focuses on Government. Why? That can be abused and is an authoritarian position if given to much power. Chomsky's ideas have merit in the private sector if a company chooses to use that type of organization. Ron want us to make that choice not Gov.
