Reply #4: What we have to know is,

[Dhalgren]

are there enough of us to actually fight it after the second Bush coup takes place? How big a portion of the population will simply accept the loss of our Republic and go on as though nothing had changed? How big will the detention camps have to be, and how much blood will run in the streets?

We need to start planning now for the real underground that will have to grow and prosper if we are to save lives and, just maybe, save this Republic. If the coup becomes permanent in Nov. '04, we will never have the opportunity to restore our lives to anything approaching "normal".
