40. What does it mean to fight?

Thu Nov 21, 2024, 11:03 AM

Thursday

Because when I suggested jury nullification as a tactic against laws these people would pass, I was criticized for the tone and I was chastised for caring more about the freedom and welfare of my fellow people than about zany laws based on conservative vibes and some oath to care about those laws.

So this isn't a criticism of you, but I do invite everyone here to ask themselves... if you say "fight", that's good, but what are you actually ready to do to fight?

Welcome to the political war.
