    I completely agree - Americans are fucked. But will any of these things change without civil resistance?

    Fuck Jefferson, but «The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants» is kinda they way this is headed. Otherwise, 250 years of uninterrupted democracy was a hell of a run.

    On the other hand, «Patriotism is a virtue of the vicious» according to Oscar Wilde.

    But what do I know. I learned both of these quotes from The Rock (the movie, not Dwayne).
