Nothing is more unpredictable than the mob, nothing more obscure than public opinion, nothing more deceptive than the whole political system.

Go for it (more oil for me...)
I'd also suggest you boycott everthing else... like food, public utilities, the internet.
I wont throw around buzzwords like treason and sedition. I will note that you probably wont be tracked down and arrested for your treasonous and seditious opinions unless and until you take an unlawful violent action. This is the halmark of our free society. Talk all you want, but if you blow something up or drive while intoxicated guys like me will put you in jail.
And don't go yelling fire in a crowded theater or threatening the President...free speech has its limits too.

But I agree with you Hero, that if we must act to change things, we must do so within the law.
Not as nutty as you thought, huh? Chrisisall

Quote:Finn, that is THE briefest assessment of a person, situation or opinion I've ever seen from you. Care to try and talk him down off that bridge rationally? If anyone can do it, you can.

Is 'fruitcake' an ad hominem?

The rest sounds like too much work. Nihil est incertius vulgo, nihil obscurius voluntate hominum, nihil fallacius ratione tota comitiorum.

Actually technically it is.
Advocating the overthrow of your goverment through violence or knowingly aided and abetting her enemies in their attempt to do harm.
I believe the founding fathers disagree with you Dreamtrove.
Quote:
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.
Given the American history of violent revolution I don't think your statement holds water.
Quote:
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
Hmm, "throw off" doesn't sound like voting somebody out of office to me. WWGWD? What Would George Washington Do?
The more I get to know people the more I like my dogs.
