Welcome back dog.
Just a little side note from the second paragraph of the Declaration of Independance.
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.--That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, --That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.--Such has been the patient sufferance of these Colonies; and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former Systems of Government.

Who took the muzzle off this dog?
Seriously though, if you disagree with my statement, how about an intelligent rebuttle instead of smirky one liner?
I believe a full scale revolt will be the only thing to stop this machine because nobody has bothered to do anything about it in the past and let it snowball, they chose to just stand by and listen to those people who say you need to go and vote and make a difference, well, look where that got us. Who hasn't heard the quote by Jefferson, "The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants"? Thinking that voting is going to do anything but just slow the inevitable is foolish. We have people in our own group saying everything is going to be fine 20-30-40 years from now just as it was 20-30-40 years ago, there were people who said those same things over 200 years ago to our founding fathers, I'm glad they didn't listen, there were few who could have gone on and chose to be violated by the British while the majority would have been fine, this sounds much like it is today.
I forgot who it was here in the thread about secession who jumped on those talking about actually seceding from the U.S. made a lot of sense. Secede, no way, this is America, people fought and died for it, ours friends and relatives, why would someone want to walk away from something like that and just give it up?

Dude, that's brilliant! You really know how to work the "system". Can I be your future ambassador to the US?
