You forgot that you can’t put the government in jail when it does not follow the Constituitio and that the government can put you in jail when you don’t obey the government. It is kinda like the losers do not get to try the winners. When you decide not to obey the government, get ready to go to jail. And when you go , you will go alone as the few military men who decided to oppose obama learned the hard way.

Take a look at the chaos in the New York City metropolitan area -- nearly two weeks after Hurricane Sandy hit the region -- to see how effective government is at keeping up the facade during even a minor disruption.

I'll give a good hurricane-related example of what I'm talking about. We've had "gas rationing" and long lines at gas stations in place here in New Jersey for about a week and a half. It has gotten better in the last couple of days, but before that there were plenty of stories about people waiting on line for 4+ hours for gas. I've kept two vehicles fully fueled all this time, I've never waited even so much as 5 seconds on a gas line, and that silly "odd/even" gas rationing rule doesn't mean a damn thing to me.

Figure it out and work around the system. This country owes its existence to farmers and small business owners who did exactly that. You'd be surprised how easy it is once you overcome the emotional "the government is all-powerful" barrier that seems like such an insurmountable hurdle.

P.S. The "military men" you refer to have one problem that makes it so easy for a government to trample all over them: they are military men.
