TOMORROW IS A "BIG DAY"!!- WHAT WOULD THOMAS JEFFERSON SAY?

[Orwellian_Ghost]

"The two enemies of the people are criminals and government, so let us tie the second down with the chains of the Constitution so the second will not become the legalized version of the first."

- Thomas Jefferson

"What country can preserve it's liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance?"

- Thomas Jefferson

Nothing about the vote. It seems almost hapless what we do these days in our efforts to bring about just governance.

Do remember as you head to the polls that it is the institutions and organizations that supersede and outlive the individual candidates and express their power far beyond any simplistic campaign metaphor. That is what we must face. Until that is done all else is tilting at windmills.

Good luck people, though don't count on it.

3. Debs was the man. Seriously he was a decent guy.

Two bad our corpo system was strong enough to silence him even 100 years or so ago.

4. Here's what he would say...

"A little patience, and we shall see the reign of witches pass over, their spells dissolve, and the people, recovering their true sight, restore their government to its true principles."

Thomas Jefferson, 1798

5. Yes, but Cheney says resistance is futile

Has been so far.

6. What resistance?

I've seen only parades, capitulation and online petitions.

They must laugh at our ineffectual endeavors.

[MrMickeysMom]

8. Yep ... what resistance, indeed n/t

[angrycarpenter]

9. YES, they count on us to follow the rules they break everyday. nt

7. I think Jefferson would first have to recover his nausea from the stench, once he saw

... what passes for our representative form of government. Plus, he would wonder about the poorly educated electorate working 2 jobs and all but having the pursuit of happiness beat out of them senselessly.

Don't you think?
