Contingency plans for Martial Law?

[Ladyhawk]

OK, I don't really believe that * will stage a terrorist attack and declare Martial Law, but IF it happens, would this site be shut down? Probably.

It might be nice to have a contingency plan. Perhaps we could give our phone numbers to the mods who could somehow figure out a way to contact everyone. For example, Skinner calls Ladyhawk with a list of other folks to call, etc. :shrug:

It wouldn't be a secret, but at least we might be able to protest if something that horrible happened. :shrug:

1. this site's popularity is way over-estimated

since you're on pain meds I'll leave it at that

importance is a relative concept. for some, it's their entire reason for being. others, just a place to discuss politics with similiarly minded folks.

4. If it ever came to closing down sites on the Internet (not sure it will),

don't you think this would be one of them? I do.

Still, I really don't think the shrubbies will try anything like that just yet. :shrug: I was envisioning a "worst case scenario." It doesn't mean I think it's going to happen.

6. no, because this is a harmless discussion forum

visited by harmless people interested in politics. the site, the postings, the government doesn't give a rat's ass about this place, because with the exception of some very very disturbed people who are advocating a violent coup (because we all know violent coups lead to more freedom :eyes:), there isn't anything on here that would warrant the government giving a shit.

7. Who is advocating a "violent coup?"

And why aren't you reporting it?

8. because i don't alert

unless it's something clearly bigoted.

9. Some people don't view peaceful protests as "harmless"

DU has raised tens of thousands of dollars for some causes, which has made it and certain notable people on DU big targets. That's all I'm saying. I certainly am NOT advocating violence. No way.

2. if it comes to that...

good luck finding me.

3. No lists! Good lord, no lists.

Fascists love lists. Does their work for them ...

5. That's a good point.

I'm still thinking like America would be free at that point. Pssst...it's the Vicodin.
