Secession, the Second Amendment and Sun Tzu .................................. "In the 6th Century BC, Chinese warrior Sun Tzu wrote The Art of War. It has been the definitive treatise on waging war for 26 centuries now. Only thirteen chapters, it was translated first in 1782 when a French Jesuit priest living in China, Joseph Amiot, acquired a copy of it, and translated it into French. Subsequent translations have honed the text into English. The book is available for free through The Gutenberg Project at: The Art of War. I strongly recommend this short read, as the truth can be used in many areas of human interaction. For this article, I shall concentrate on his writings about waging war by deception. Here are some of his thoughts. Chapter 1:18 All war is based on deception. Chapter 2:2 Supreme excellence consists in breaking the enemy's resistance without fighting." ............................. "A well-regulated Militia...is...necessary to the security of a Free State, the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed?" States need to reclaim their sovereignty by revitalizing their state militias. Through the militia, states will once again gain their true freedom to regulate the Federal Government that once was their servant. And, in the failure of the exertion of state sovereignty to control the actions of Washington, the unhappy states may secede knowing that they are capable of defending their decision from all who would attempt to use force to prevent their exit." lewrockwell.com

i have so far had o time to form any view of 2010, and figure to fall back on astuteness and agility if needed, intending to bet few but substantive, and certainly to avoid big mistakes. i will start my formulation on tuesday, during drinks with my betters.
