Sedition is NOT to be taken lightly, nor engaged in casually. It is a very very serious business. Our Founding Fathers did recognize a need for it. And we are free of British rule because of it.

Yes the Declaration of Independence is not the foundation document of our law, but it does explain the thinking of our Founding Fathers:

"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. 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."

Am I suggesting rebellion now? No. It is my hopes that things can change for the better peacefully. Peaceful change is always preferable to violent change. . . always. Will that change happen peacefully - will our government listen to We the People? Hard to say with 100% certainty - if past behavior is any indication of future, I would say no they will not listen, not as long as they think they can get away with what they want to do for themselves.

The longer we wait to pressure the government to change, the longer the danger runs that the power they grab will continue to become a set pattern of behavior moving forward. Once rights are gone, they are harder to get back.

Rebellion and the overthrow of a government bring about chaos and turmoil to a nation and its people. In today's world, it also leaves a nation vulnerable to outside hostile nations/invaders. Like I said - its serious business and NOT to be engaged in lightly. There are serious problems that arise from it. There is the potential for people dying due to the conflict.

Governments are, most naturally, thoroughly against it. We do have a self-serving government. Changing our laws takes forever, if they even happen at all. And elections have become jokes. Thus, doing things the legal way have consequences too. Those in government who actually do care about the People are at an extreme disadvantage. They have to swim uphill all the time against the corrupt.

Again, I am not suggesting sedition. But it did, once upon a time, have good reasons for it and it gave us our freedom.
