Tell me..Could whats happening in Egypt happen in America?
I know 300 million Americans could gather and revolt.
But I mean under the law do Americans have the legal right to quit literally like Egypt DEMAND the Government kicks Rocks. In other words out?
"God forbid we should ever be twenty years without such a rebellion.
The people cannot be all, and always, well informed. The part which is
wrong will be discontented, in proportion to the importance of the facts
they misconceive. If they remain quiet under such misconceptions,
it is lethargy, the forerunner of death to the public liberty. ...
And what country can preserve its liberties, if its rulers are not
warned from time to time, that this people preserve the spirit of
resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as
to the facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost
in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from
time to time, with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
It is its natural manure."
Thomas Jefferson

sort of but what most americans don't understand is that we have the power to take back our govt. by peaceful means. in other words every senate seat should be recalled. an the president should be impeached. that is the way to take back our country but most americans would rather complain then take action. until its way to late. which that should be very shortly

I am in the "prepare for the worst hope for the best" camp.
I left a major metropolitan area and bought land in rural western Michigan (nearest the biggest fresh water reserves on the planet) i have beef swine and chicken i garden and hunt and fish i live more happy and relaxed now than ever before and i am prepared to keep what i have with what could be called "considerable firepower"
If it happens you keep your mouth shut your head down and simply keep a low profile and don't act unless threatened if you are threatened well then its on like donkey kong.
@been a long strange trip......Sorry dipshit my well water tests very clean far better than city tap water.
Also in times of crisis i think the great lakes can support me for clean water needs enough to survive anyhow.
Ahhh also the "rockies" water is from snow pack it contains the same pollutants as the air its far from "pristine" buddy

If any american thinks they choose the president you ******* stupid. Don't you know the electoral collage is what decides the presidency. If you don't recall Al Gore won the popular vote in 2000...was he selected president? obviously not. Regardless the president is just a puppet to the corporations and the banking system. Our founing fathers would be sick if they saw what has happened to our country. The whole system should be scratched. We need another hippie movement minus the drugs. Peace and Love should be the basis of all government.

Revolt for what? You seem to be overlooking the fact that 300 million people don't want to revolt because there is nothing to revolt for. Americans revolted last November. Did you miss that?

No, our young people are lazy. Play X-Box and dream of action instead of getting up off the couch and actually doing something.
Dr. Phil - I live near the clean water in the Rockies, Michigan water is far from clean. Go run away and kill yourself drinking that crap.

it happens in America all the time just without violence we do it with our vote.
this past election we booted the dems next we push the tea party

If it does it'll come from the Tea Party. I can't imagine what 30 million gun loving fanatics will do if they don't get their people elected.

Yes, but not likely.
Although if the government doesn't shape up soon, who knows?
