That's what I say. I refer to the right of the people to rule
themselves. Also when their issues are systematically ignored. I think
the right to safety must be placed as the #1 issue.
Notice I'm against Gated Communities but I justify people arming
themselves when the State fails so miserably. If it's a jungle out
there, you must survive in it.
But most importantly MAKE NOISE: This is a failed state!
Not only SA. Hey, even the UK has plenty of those Feudal Communities,
I hear.
