Do you want to start the direct action to disrupt their agenda or should I? If we do that, our lives are over. If we don't do it, our lives may be over at a later date or it may only make it unpleasant.

There lies the problem. You have to have enough people willing to give it all and this country does not allow for that because at every moment we are desperately trying to survive. Hard to fight back from that position.
