We will all comply, eventually. There will be pockets of resistance, but the fact is, somehow we believe we have more to lose than the Founders. Somehow, we’re “better”. The Founders would have stood up long ago. We have soiled the legacy they left for us, because to do anything less would put our jobs, mortgages, cars & toys, big screen TV’s, sports and booze all at risk. Chances are, if we acted as the Founders did, we would quickly lose all of it. This is why we accept what is happening in Washington - why we continue to CONSENT.

I’m afraid that you are correct, though as I age I’m more willing to GO4IT.

That is why you continue to consent.

Jefferson described the situation well in the Declaration of Independence:
"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"

You can have the country the founders envisioned, or you can have women voting.
You can't have both.
