	I had a long conversation with a fellow employee just the
	other day. He is from Haiti, and had just returned from
	there after arranging the immigration of his parents.
	His most profound observation as to the hold the current
	dictatorships have held over the people related directly
	to our RKBA issue. 

	He said that the dictators put in considerable effort to
	confiscate any and all private firearms. Being a small
	country, they got them - or enough of them anyway. Only
	after the arms were collected did Cedras & Co implement
	their bloody purges of opposition members and their
	general terror campaigns against the average citizens.
	Without the threat of arms, the people were absolutely
	helpless in the face of even the slightest whim of
	Cedras or any member of his 'security' troops. Robbery,
	rape, torture, extortion and murder are now carried out
	at will by the government forces - who are secure in
	the knowledge that any noteworthy resistance is
	impossible. 

	Governments are like individual men. To be safe from
	them, they must RESPECT your ability to resist them. 
	When a people are helpless against a State, the  State
	wastes no time living down to its worst potential. 
	To anyone who imagines that it can't happen here - 
	note that the Haitians thought it couldn't happen
	there either. The path to dictatorship is short and
	progress quick. It *can* happen here ... perhaps it
	already is. 

	Suggested reading ... "Lost Rights" by James Bovard (1994)
