It's late but I had a quick thought that might be good for the newspapers, letters, faxes etc. The Michigan Militia looms pretty large in the media these days what with Timothy McVeigh etc. I in NO WAY am sympathetic to the Fremen, Waco's Mich Militia etc. however the thought did cross my mind that the seed that gets the people involved in these groups is that the Government has too much power. (And I of course had this thought because I feel so frustrated and powerless). What is the case with Kodo? That the Govt, here represented by the Dept of Public Health et al. has the power to come in and rip a loved companion from you despite that all parties involved do not in any way want this, including the affected "victim". That despite all common sense and medical evidence to the contrary they refuse to change laws and abuse their power with all our tax dollars to prosecute their abuse of power. Isn't this sort of frustration that starts people into these groups? Isn't this the kind of thing that gives them "ammo" for their the Govt is out of control theories? Gee - and here in Michigan where this sort of govt insanity is being played out the Michigan Militia is a pretty large group. Is this the kind of image and connection that Michigan wants to portray? Just a thought for all you letter writers and PR types. Mary, Boris and Giesela [Posted in FML issue 1960]
