RE: [-empyre-] "a politically realist question"

[Deborah Kelly <dkellysocialchange@yahoo.com>]

greetings, Empyre and guests. 
In response to Nicholas Ruiz the third, 
please forgive me if I misunderstand:

why do I need to determine how much martial control a
nation should have or exert, if I dare to question
that control &, say, its mechanisms?

I'm not standing for election. No-one with their hands
on, or anywhere near, that kind of power is ever going
to ask me my opinion.

I don't think it is irresponsible to ask questions
when you don't know the answers.

Deborah
