[Not if it’s done right. Read Revolt in the Holy Land by Menachem Begin, Anarchist’s Cookbook, and other literature about underground action. If Chip did that kind of work himself (doubtful at his age or mine [I can talk about it, and they can’t extradite me from Israel]), nobody who didn’t need to know should ever find out who did what and when. Just that it was done.]

I get where you’re coming from, but there’s a reason Death Wish is a movie and not a documentary. Most people don’t make it their mission in life to accomplish GOP objectives even at the risk of their own lives. And I get it. If it’s important enough to the general public, it will vote to get those things done without any drama. It’s just that we’re not there yet.

All politics goes through a dialectical process. There is action, reaction, then synthesis. The Dems are overplaying their hand. We are swinging back. Groot lost her re-election bid in Chicago - the first Chicago mayor to do so in 40 years. That’s a sign.

“I get where you’re coming from, but there’s a reason Death Wish is a movie and not a documentary. “

When Bernard Goetz shot those youts on the subway, crime on the subway came to an abrupt halt for weeks, until he was caught. So life does imitate art, just not consistently.

“There is action, reaction, then synthesis.”

And that’s why New York City neither continued its roller-skate-borne trip to hell, nor became Texas after the Civil War. Goetz was part of the pendulum swinging, which in the end resulted in a restoration of order and the election of Giuliani.
