Time for Revolution?
What is your limit of gov't abuses?
DO you find our current gov't "OK"?
What would it take for you to become an active member of a revolution to return this country to it's rightful owners?
I'm not saying "let's starting killing people"....yet.
It's quite obvious to me that voting just doesn't get things done.
What topics would you include on a new Declaration of Independence?
Here's a link to a very readable version of the Declaration of Independence, July 4, 1776
In another time, American's killed for **** like this:
"He has erected a multitude of new offices, and sent hither swarms of officers to harass our people and eat out their substance."
"For imposing taxes on us without our consent;"
"For depriving us, in many cases, of the benefits of trial by jury;"

I just want to stop getting bent over. I want to keep more of my paycheck, and stop paying for other people to do nothing. My thought is that if you don't work or contribute, you get nothing. For those that are clearly trying to do better in this world, but can't seem to make it, give those people some relief, but make them work for it. Oh, and I don't want to pay for California's screw ups. I am fine with paying for our roads, schools and so on, but I don't want to pay for ridiculous programs that do nothing at all. And, that is all!

If things keep going the way that they are, it is a safe bet we will have another Oklahoma City bombing on our hands.
It is too easy and cheap to construct pipe bombs and load them into a car in front of a City Hall of Capitol building.
The people of this country will only take so much until they finally openly revolt.

I don't think the vast majority of the US people have it in them anymore..
I once heard a quote that said "the US is not at war.. The Marines are at war, the US is at the Mall" It pretty much describes the state of the vast majority of the Sheep in the US.
As long as folks get their bread and circuses few will be willing to do anything.

I think our government is fine the way it is. Tearing the whole thing down and starting from scratch is the dumbest idea ever IMO. Spend some time in countries building a government from scratch and you'll come to understand how good we actually have it.
We actually have such things a human rights, free speech, and democracy. The government is actually accountable to the people. Corruption here is nothing compared to some on the Asian countries. We actually have law and order in the streets instead of the government fighting factions of revolutionist, communist guerrillas, and drug lords.

People forgot a long time ago what power we have, our govt has nothing if we don't want them to. But, I agree, no one is going to step out of their rat race of a life to actually do anything about what they want to change. They just keep voting in people who promise them 'change' and complain when nothing happens. Then, its time to vote for change again.

I'm not preaching "Tear it all down", more like a slap in the face to wake folks up.

How I wish I shared your optimism.
However, I agree that tearing it down and starting from scratch would leave us wide open for an attack/invasion of another country.
Best thing to do - start a new colony with a new modern government.
