My favorite part of the Declaration of independence

[yellowdogmi]

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

1. Yeah.. That's some powerful stuff right there

How about some freakin’ election reform already?!

2. Sounds treasonous to me

I think that Jefferson fellow belongs in a cell in Guantanamo Bay.

5. If it is they will be giving me

a one way ticket to Cuba. This was the last straw. To hell with them. We all need to hang together or certainly we will hang seperately. I don't know who that quote belongs to but it also seems appropriate.

3. I love that passage too.... it is our DUTY

People have to participate for our government to work.... sadly, many have forgotten or take it for granted that these documenets are out there and that democracy doesn't just happen because "...this is America".

4. THROW OFF!

"Throw off such government."

NOW! The long train of abuses and usurpations stretches off as far as the eye can see.

The Guards are supposed to be guarding our constitution, and instead they attack it like they are sworn enemies of everything America stands for.

I love the image of "throw off." I'm getting some great visual ya-yas out of that one.

6. Our day is coming.

We need to get back in the hunt. Have a beer and forget about today's set back. Then we'll get together and kick their asses.
