| When, in the course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the laws of nature and of nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation. |

I am such a sheep. Anyone else have that moment of awakening? That feeling of how could I be lost in the smoke screen and not even realize it. Having a Gunnery Sargent in the USMC really helps you live somewhere between follow orders and keep your head in the sand. So, this 4th of July I thought I would read the Declaration. These are a few reasons why we stated in this document that we separated in the first place.
He has refused his assent to laws, the most wholesome and necessary for the public good.
He has called together legislative bodies at places unusual, uncomfortable, and distant from the depository of their public records, for the sole purpose of fatiguing them into compliance with his measures.
He has dissolved representative houses repeatedly, for opposing with manly firmness his invasions on the rights of the people.
He has made judges dependent on his will alone, for the tenure of their offices, and the amount and payment of their salaries.
He has erected a multitude of new offices, and sent hither swarms of officers to harass our people, and eat out their substance.
He has kept among us, in times of peace, standing armies without the consent of our legislature.
He has affected to render the military independent of and superior to civil power.
For cutting off our trade with all parts of the world:
For imposing taxes on us without our consent:
For depriving us in many cases, of the benefits of trial by jury:
For transporting us beyond seas to be tried for pretended offences:
I would suggest all US citizens read this and remember where the true power should reside. With the people. We have the right to separate again.
I thought moving to Costa Rica would help keep my son away from the Military, but the US is sending 7000 Marines to assist on a fictitious war on drugs.
GOD FUCKING DAMN IT! GOD FUCKING DAMN THEM.
