I predict it will come to that. We are governed by people who think our right expire when they become inconvenient.

We are being governed by people who think that all Rights of the people derive from the government, not that all governmental power derives from the people being governed. They are totally clueless about the actual source of their power and the source of the people's rights.

Sorry to disagree with you Swordmaker, but I think that it is pretty obvious that these days governmental power derives from the barrel of a gun, and nothing more.
