Sam,
I
enjoy your newsletter very much. But I must request that you remove

You

USPS stamp every month!
Thanks
and best wishes,

Thank
you.

Re:
February's
lead article. It is my opinion, based upon the news items regarding
the intercepted terrorist messages, that there was sufficient knowledge
not only to stop the attack before it happened, but also to identify the
perpetrators. I believe the only reason the information will never
be made public is that it would confirm my opinion.

Dear Mr. Aurelius
...
I have decided that the only way to really effect a change is through the
pen. I want to kill them all, but we know it doesn't work that way.
Ask McVeigh, Koresh, the victims of the Ruby Ridge incident, any devout
Southern boy, the list goes on and on. My sense of fair play demands
retribution, but it does not seem to work that way. One day, if it
does, I will go that way. At any rate, how are property prices up
in that area? How bout in the mountains. I must have mountains
to live in, and I need out of this state. Too damn oppressive.
What's next? Brown shirts? SS or what? Hitler youth?
We could call them Bush Youth. Give them daggers with elephants on
them and outfit them with oil money. Fuckin bastards. I guess
I rant and rave too much, so I will sign off. Thank you for the sub
and the other cool stuff.

Here
are examples of property currently for sale in this area: 1 1/4 acres,
$83,900; 6 acres, $124,900; 10 acres, $114,900. Each
piece of land has a house of one sort or another. Please note,
this is river bottom land, not mountains.

Hi
Sam I always look forward to your newsletter. Although your ideas
at times seem fanatical, I somehow often agree. However, in your
last issue I was shocked by your headline: "The people should always
be more heavily armed than the police." If you really feel this way,
why do we even have police? I don't know how to use a gun and wouldn't
want to learn, nor would I want my wife or children using a gun.
We pay taxes so that the police will protect us, and so we can spend our
time on more productive and more enjoyable activities. Call me lazy,
but I disagree with you this time!

I
didn't intend to suggest that you should be required to own a gun.
Indeed, if you don't know how to use one, then you're better off without
it. Of course, you're even better off learning to use it. My
intended meaning is that the people, as a population, should be more heavily
armed than the police. I'll go even further than that. The
population must be prepared to defend itself against any armed force
that the government might send against the people. Thus, if the government
uses army tanks and armed helicopters to attack a civilian residence near
Waco, the people should thereafter arm themselves with anti-tank rocket
launchers and surface-to-air guided missiles. It's the only way to
have any hope at all of protecting the rights of the people from the otherwise
inevitable destruction of those rights by the government. In any
case, every individual should be able to make his own choice regarding
gun ownership. Nobody should be either required to own a gun or prohibited
from owning one.
You
certainly should have the right to determine if your children will have
access to guns. However, I think that you should at least make sure
that they are taught how NOT to use guns. The chances are that, sometime
during his life, anybody will encounter a gun and handle it. Ignorance
can be fatal. I reported one such case in "Teach Your Parents Well",
in the May 1994 issue. I've reprinted that article in this issue.
Finally,
it's foolish to rely on the police for protection. Not only are they
unable to protect you, they're more dangerous than the other, non government,
criminals.
