That whenever any form of government becomes destructive to 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 shown that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed.

I don't think it would be a revolt, more of a civil war
Watch out for the guy behind the guy in front of you

Guys......we tried the civil war thingy.We are just in one of our radical swings.If we get out there and vote we can turn things arround eventually.But if we find ourselves in a perpetual minority..........we may have to adjust.At 64,I have seen enough change to be wary of it,never been able to do "single" thing to reverse it.I am afraid we have seen the best of times.Doesn't mean it will all be bad,necsarily,but we are in a new era.

A revolution is taking place in my pants.

In a civil war, the side with the most guns wins.
Revolution here and now would be like pitting a pillow against a big marshmallow.
Ohhh- change!  Change to what- from soft to soft?

Thought about this thread.  Thanks to sonofa... to allow me to extrapolate.   America is about freedom--within the law.  I think the problem is that America's "leaders" have forgotten that fact, and instead act totally based upon self-interest (and their self-interest has limited freedom at every opportunity).  I insist that we, as American citizens, stand up to this nonsense, organize and defeat this over-reaching governmental stupidity.  It is our only chance!!!
