"GIVE ME LIBERTY, OR, well whatever you've got, I am fine with whatever."
- javert 13y agoI used to be really not know how to handle the fact that the Founding Fathers started a revolution, and I haven't been even trying to start one. I mean, they wouldn't put up with this shit! They rebelled over a freaking stamp tax! Then I realized that my thinking was disconnected from reality. There is a HUGE difference between my situation, and that of the Founding Fathers. They knew that they could win. They were selfish people. They would not have started the Revolution if there had been no chance of actually gaining something and actually winning. We cannot win, at least, not that way. The only way we can probably hope to win is by speaking up and slowly changing the culture. We are far closer to 1984 than the Founding Fathers were.
