Well, the government's still around and operating business like usual - and while history may favor the students, they're just as dead. So I guess that shows which side of the fence I fall on.

I'm one of those "come n get them/revolution" types, but not much interested in sacrificing myself to the legal system just to prove a point. My red line for personal individual action is actual door-to-door confiscation. And/or a movement with enough momentum to actually accomplish something - ala 1776.
