The Canary in a Coal Mine?

Is Joe Stack, the pilot who flew a plane into the Austin IRS office, the canary in the coal mine? Is this the beginning of blood in the streets?

There is no doubt the man was deranged and morally weak to take the lives of innocent people in his battle with the IRS, but he had experienced enough government ignorance and incompetence to send him over the edge.

Another man bulldozed his $300,000 home to send a message to the banks who were trying to foreclose and the IRS who destroyed his business.

One man was willing to die to send a message, and another is willing to go to jail to prove his point. At what point do stronger people say they have had enough?

Will the government take steps against private plane ownership and operation in a knee-jerk reaction to one incident? Will they step on the tea party goers with jack boots in an attempt to intimidate those who protest against an incompetent, overbearing government?

The idiots in Washington had better seriously look at these and other recent events and ask themselves if their policies and their disregard for the Constitution will only invite more extreme reactions from a frustrated populace.
