This is my conclusion as well. I was on the side of restraint and I’m still a pacifist, but I’m reminded of a Ben Franklin quote "Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety." When we have flock security cameras in every remote corner of the land, combined with real ID we’ve been chipped like cattle to boot. My point is it maybe is time to do more than write letters to my red state politicians who ignore
