In my opinion, the American colonists revolted against far less onerous offenses than our govt commits against us today.

If you consider Roe v Wade, obamacare, TSA, income taxes, etc. to be “light and transient causes” that do not “rise to the standard set by the Declaration, I am aghast, speechless.

Then your opinion is of little value. It is a far cry from abhoring what is "allowed" (such as abortion) to abhoring what is "demanded" (such as quartering troops).

No. I consider them "evils" that are "sufferable." And it would seem the greater balance of the people agree with me.
