I think most people are too comfortable to participate in something like a real revolt. Things would have to get very tough, indeed -- and they'd have to become simultaneously tough for the majority of the people.

No matter how angry we gets at the excesses and criminal behavior of our elected officials, we're a long way from living in the conditions that would justify an armed uprising. Our freedoms are largely intact -- the fact that we're able to have this very discussion without any real fear of reprisal is proof of that.

But yeah, from my cold, dead fingers.
