And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling with terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand?... The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin’s thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt! If...if...We didn’t love FREEDOM enough. And even more we had no awareness of the real situation.... We purely and simply deserved everything that happened afterward. Aleksandr I. Solzhenitsyn ,

Exactly what I thought wen I saw this post. We should all keep this alive.
:) You beat to it.. This is the very quote I thought of as well...
Do like the demoncrats have been doing already...
Make and distribute lists of names and addresses of those (and their families) who oppose us and our views...
Certainly it would not be impossible to generate lists for those (and their families) who either plan and demand confiscation or who would be coming to confiscate...
Maybe all the emails and telephone calls would dissuade them.../Snicker
Thanks for that quote.
That is very powerful.
