I think we all know which side we're on.
A house divided against itself cannot long stand, but if there is to be a truce it will not come from submission, but from a recognition that all people are created equal, that they all have certain inalienable rights, and that among those are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Those words were worth fighting for once. Are they worth fighting for today?
We can hope...
In Heinlein's "The Moon is a Harsh Mistress", the lead character states that he will back the revolution against Earth's tyranny if the odds are "bettin' odds." To those hard core settlers, 1 in 3 was betting odds. Just waiting!
