Interesting. Do you have the other 66?

Sorry, I posted these without much commentary.

I'm working on my own version of Martin Luther's 95 theses ... only I want to make them political theses.   The main qualification for my theses is that they must be FEDERAL (not state) issues, and I'd like for them to be fairly recent (ie, within the last century or so.  They can be on just about any example of federal tyranny.  Obviously, the form as presented in not complete.  The final form probably won't contain 33 examples of unjust war; I'd rather it focus more on the loss of liberty, but I'm just getting started.

Do you like
statistics
for example: 60% of all federal prisoners are imprisoned for drug charges;
or
perhaps a list, like: names of people murdered and maimed in federal police raids;
or
a descriptive phrase of tyranny
for example: "Vicki Weaver was shot in the head by an FBI sniper as she opened her kitchen door to let in her bleeding husband"?

I like them all.    I'm working on a little project ... so any that people can send my way will be appreciated.

Btw, tackle, I understand we're about to have our newest NH resident?

This project of yours could be developed into a webpage for the upcoming NH secession website!

Edit- PS. I kind-of think for this sort of a thing we should stay away from stats. We need actual facts.

We could put together a different document outlining all the stats, for why the government is evil NOW. It seems to me Calib's project is more for actual past events of state murder.
