I wish you were right. History suggests otherwise.

I dunno if the song was intended to be funny, but I got a giggle out of it.

Heydrian, for your edification:

The Waco Siege
The Ruby Ridge Massacre
Kent State Shootings

and something old:

The Whiskey Rebellion

Those links are to get you started. If you're interested, there's a lot more information to be had if you look for it.

Wow George Washington suppressed a movement, I guess he isn't as great as i was led to believe. However the others ones were either by accident or for the most part justified in taking such drastic action.

Don't believe everything you read, and none of what you see on television. ;-)

Yes, sniping a woman armed with a deadly baby is always justified. As is using flamethrowers to burn a compound full of civilians to death.

Like I said, the links I provided were to get you started. To quote Harlan Ellison: "Everyone is entitled to their informed opinion."
