F*ck the Government!

Throughout history there have been many great quotes by many great people, but one of my favorites has to be the one by Abbie Hoffman. When asked why he used the F-word so much, his response was, “If I could not say fuck, how would I be able to say fuck the government?” No truer words were ever spoken!

There was a time in this country when people had a great distrust in government; dissent was the rule, not the exception. Most people are unaware that many of the Founding Fathers had a great distrust of government. They knew that left unchecked, the government would turn into a giant leviathan that would take rights away, not protect them.

I remember when I was in my high school American History class and we were looking at some of the quotes of our past. There was never any mention of quotes about rebellion, unless it had to do with rebellion against King George. Just like most people, I had no idea that the very people who were responsible for our freedom and liberty also warned us of vigilance in keeping it.
