[Non-Sequitur]

If you haven't read the Declaration of Independence in a while, I encourage you to look at it now.

Well let me know when your rebellion starts. I wouldn't want to miss it.

But what does that have to do with states leaving the Union to begin with?

It would likely kick into high gear with a single act of Federal oppression — the modern-day equivalent to the 1770 Boston Massacre.

It took years to develop from there. However, with the immediacy of communications today, I would not suspect it would very long for people to react accordingly in the 21st Century, especially considering how many years we've been building to the Tipping Point today.

Regardless, true Leaders lead and Followers (as usual) are along for the ride ...

Support for the Declaration of Independence was reportedly evenly split:

1) one-third Patriots;
2) one-third Loyalists (Tory);
3) one-third didn't care (the modern-day equivalent to the average "American Idol" viewer).

I feel it's quite safe to assume YOU, Non-Sequitur, would not have been in Group 1.

Once again, look at the Declaration of Independence ... and note the words of the first paragraph. I can only help you if you pay attention ...

Truthsearcher said it best earlier in the thread:

EVERYTHING is a matter of political will.

If enough people want something badly enough, they will make it happen.

We love our nation, but I can't think of ANY Poll today which shows the American people are pleased with Congress or Federal Government ... can you?
