When is it time for a revolution? [View All]

[ShinerTX]

I'm sorry for being such a downer, but I'm miserable and depressed tonight. I haven't slept in almost two months. I can barely eat; I've lost ten pounds. My hopes are pinned on Jan. 6, but honestly, those hopes are slim. Kerry doesn't care about us. McAuliffe was in it for the money. Dean has no power or influence anymore. Jesse Jackson has lost credibilty. BBV and other groups seem to be playing on our hopes and taking our money for nothing. I'm facing a grim reality tonight, and it hurts.

But I remembered these words from the Declaration of Independence, and they give me hope:

"When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation."

My question: when is the time right for us to "dissolve the political bands" which connect us to * and declare OUR independence? When do we assume our own power and throw of the chains? When do we find our freedom again?

If Jan. 6 fails, is Jan. 7 going to become the new July 4?
