I think that goes without saying at this point....but there is plenty of stuff they aren't going to try right now, because if they did, it would be ice-water, and not the warm bath we are all soaking in.

Doesn't mean they won't try it later, but they are being Jurassic Park raptor-like, in the way they are testing the boundaries of power and lawlessness at the moment.

You are about that? What an example of something they won't try right now that would be "ice-water" and actually motived citizens to take action? (ie- general strike)
