7. Oh, puh-leeze.
We have a congress which does not represent "the mob" (that's us.)
We have an executive who not only does not represent us but which seeks to eavesdrop on us, imprison us without trial if we're "bad", and possibly execute us if we become too inconvenient.
We have a supreme court which is being stacked with people who condone strip searches of 10-year-olds.

And you are worried about "mob rule"? What the hell else is left to do? The poster wasn't proposing a "mob", anyway. He/she was just proposing that if no one else will say it for us, we need to play our ONLY ace--our numbers--and say it for ourselves.

I could see that if you were around for the Boston Tea Party, you might have said, "the desruction of property is no way to fight tyranny!"
