I swear sometimes I can almost hear his voice. A reminder across the centuries. A warning. A challenge.

"Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes;
and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed.

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."


When is it time?
When government, unwilling to abide by the rule of law, simply enforces unlawful "rules" and dares you to challenge!
When even a properly functioning free press can't curb the corruption!

When is it time?
You always hear about the "bloodless revolution" possible every four years - but I'm not sure I believe that anymore.
Sure, we'll have an election, but real change? An end to the death-spiral?

When is it time?
The Great She said so long as we have freedom of speech it is not yet time.

Well, here we are, sharing ideas and speaking our mind - and I must confess, I am still having my say.
There's Fox as well as MSNBC, so I guess it's not time yet.


But it's close. I can feel it like a black rumble.
It's coming.
