Things have certainly changed a lot since then!
Over the past few nights, we watched a Netflix mini-series titled "Waco." At the beginning of the series, the producer also had a little bit about Ruby Ridge. I suspect there are a lot of you that are (a LOT!) younger than I am, and if you weren't around when these events happened, you should spend some of your quarantine time watching this series. It is a good testimony of government out of control. The FBI winds up looking pretty bad, and it seems to me not much has changed. It is sad sometimes that government employees are not held accountable for irresponsible actions. Also folks that (like Charlton Heston) say "out of my cold dead hands" have not thought about how it would be facing the fire power of the government. While the British had cannons, most of the rest of their equipment was little better than the colonist's. It is really important for us to pay attention, be united, and vote!
