According to one of our greatest presidents, Thomas Jefferson, it is. Jefferson was the greatest champion of the common man and their relationship to government. To paraphrase one of his thoughts: Government exists for the governed, not for those who govern. Woe be to any government which seeks to preserve itself for its own sake. To Jefferson, elected officials were servants of the people, and when the people determine that the actions of those servants clearly defy their will, they have the right to overthrow them by whatever means they deem necessary, even to the point of violent revolution. So, don't think the U.S. government is safe from upheaval from within the country. It isn't! As long as there are people who adhere to the principles Jefferson espoused, the prospect for violent change in the United States will always exist.

I personally believe that the American people have nearly reached their breaking point concerning the too cozy relationship which exists between our so-called "servants" and Corporate America. I am convinced that a champion of the people, on the order of Eugene V. Debs, will emerge soon to help forge a third political force in America which will hold our politicos feet to the fire in their duty to do the will of the people first, and business last.

1. Humour in the face of adversity and persecution is both defensive and offensive
2. David against Goliath battles are won only by staying alive, and seeking out the weakness of the goliath
3. Public opinion is often the collapse of a contradictory and erratic governance. That public opinion is rarely espoused on media forums due to the control element of law in contempt of itself.
4. The governance of law and politicians extends beyond mere fair play. They also have self interest. Quite often the self interest of such persons comes before the greater good. There is no recourse against a corrupt and illegitimate governance.

Corn dogs are flying off the platter - I am with you - hummer - however peaceful warriors are best in such circumstances - do you eat Noddemix ? they will try to [ insert un-appropriate affect ] troll-defense - filter around that please - obscure random words are - with buzz-light-years ahead - the most pointless thing I have ever encountered social awareness of trends towards obscure random words with young people is because they don't want parent controls getting in way in that control freaks are getting out of control- please stop stifling young peoples confidence - why should everyone interfere with human rights issues of young people.
