The Guardian ( UK ) reports the first kidnapping of non-nepalis by Maoists. 5 British soldiers on a recruiting mission kidnapped. See link:

Guardian Article 10/21/03

If it doesn't work, that's about what I expected anyway.
 
WARNING: Extreme Opinion Piece Follows-


Doesn't take long now-a-days for the word to get around.

In South America, especially Columbia,we can see the dangers of tourist travel or government service.

When a foreign face has a giant dollar sign painted on it then ransom/
kidnapping is the logical followup.

When the "Have not's" start taking from the "Have's" by force and that thin veeneer that keeps a culture civil begins to disintegrate into chaos. Check out Saul Alinsky's book: "Rules For Radical's"

I suspect that's one of the reasons that the Liberal Left is working so hard to destroy the right to keep and bear arms is:--they don't trust the common man.

Consider the fear engendered by looking out of your Beverly Hills Mansion into the rest of Los Angeles or your Miami beach-front home into Liberty City. Consider the slash,cut,shoot,stab,and burn movies coming out of Hollywood that teach the kids and the illiterate how to take control and be a powerful person. :barf: :mad:
 
Personal opinion -

I think the root of "weapon" control laws is that people don't have daily contact with said objects any more. So tools become weapons.

Wow. I wasn't long-winded for once. :eek:
 
I'm sure the Maoist object to anything that gives people hope for a better future that doesn't include the Maoists on top.
 
Not personal opinion, but verified: the first gun control laws were Jim Crow laws enacted after the freeing of the slaves and were mean to be applied only to them, not the whites.

They ( the laws ) were too useful to the cops and eventually became applied to Indians, ethnic minorities, and any other "scum", to the point that nowadays the laws are applied to everyone but the people with much money and political influence who buy licenses to carry by donations to the county Sheriff or aldermen's cmpaign funds.

Which is why a backlash has developed in more than half the states to pass "shall issue" carry permits that require issuance if the Sheriff can't prove you are unfit. The results have been Darwinian - with natural law superceding the laws of man.

Rant mode off.
 
Second, more measured response, to clearblue's links:

Alinski's Rules for Radicals are cheap, low down, guidelines for making sure you get your point of view across and cause change for the worse to make better opportunities for your side to get what it is told that it wants.

Generalist Social Workers, Community Organizers, and Labor Leaders all have far more experience and rules to reference, including vast bibliographic resources. And they work within the rules for the most part. Alinski is, however valuable to read so you know your enemy.

Folk singers are also part of the history of the labor and civil rights movement, spreading an oral history with their songs. Which is why the folk group The Weavers was the only musical group to be blacklisted during the McCarthy Red Scare. Consider these lyrics by Woody Guthrie:

"They asked would I fight for my Country?

I answereed the FBI 'Yea',

I will point a gun for my country,

But I ain't guaranteeing which way."
