1. As I lectured the four cops that busted in my door at midnite in handcuffs, I too
found it exhilerating. I enjoyed also, them begging me to be quiet. I quite enjoyed smiling for the camera as they said after this pic I could get back to sleep. Chasing them down the way as they exited. I think I taught them something that night.

2. Courage
Courage is contagious. When a brave man takes a stand, the spines of others are often stiffened.

3. Yes. And he drew courage and resolve himself from the initial protestors.
Eventually it feeds itself.

"In the beginning, the Patriot is a scarce man, brave, hated and scorned. When his cause succeeds, however, the timid join him, for then it costs nothing to be a Patriot."
-Mark Twain

Critical mass will come, just as the certainty of the future of more pain by the elite will come.
