It's just a matter of time

...before this thread sinks to the bottom of the pile.

...until the earth is absorbed by the sun.

In 1770, a large number American colonists were ready to break away from England. At that moment, the town meeting of Boston chose John Adams to serve in their cause. Adams accepted, but had to face the consequences: He was about to stand up to the King of England and defy him. Being chased and imprisoned was expected. Death was a distinct possibility. Then, he had to go home and tell the wife. This is his account of that night:

Quote
When I went home to my family in May, 1770, from the town meeting in Boston, which was the first I had ever attended, and where I had been chosen in my absence, without any solicitation, one of their representatives, I said to my wife, "I have accepted a seat in the House of Representatives, and thereby have consented to my own ruin, to your ruin, and to the ruin of our children. I give you this warning, that you may prepare your mind for your fate." She burst into tears, but instantly cried out in a transport of magnanimity, "Well, I am willing in this cause to run all risks with you, and be ruined with you, if you are ruined." These were times, my friend, in Boston, which tried women's souls as well as men's.

Shit is always hitting the fan. The Silk Road was started because SHIT IS HITTING THE FAN. Governments around the world steal from their citizens, imprison, and execute them over fake crimes invented by the legislature. Shit always hits the fan— it's what you do when shit hits the fan that shows who you are. John Adams made his decision, and the Silk Road admins made theirs.

all crime is fake. It's all a human creation. Even murder. Animals may not murder each other for fun (for the most part, but look up homicidal african elephants) but they will if they are competing for survival. NOT SAYING MURDER IS RIGHT. Just pointing out that law, and it's basis on morality, is completely fake.

And no, he's trying to compare us standing up for SR and our rights to the Revolutionary War. Although, it really is applicable, after all, who do you think wrote the 2nd amendment?

But i am anti-gun on sr, there are other markets for those tthat wish them, on TOR even.

the shit has been hitting the fan for a long time.  how many non-violent drug "criminals" are incarcerated each year for selling something that isn't even a fraction as harmful as the bombs our military drops on innocent middle eastern civilians?

& this.

It is sickening the amount of 'kids' locked up for selling LSD or pot.  I really do hope we're about to reach an evolution in human consciousness.

I believe we are. It's a bit long, but you might find this related video interesting and hope inspiring. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l7AWnfFRc7g

Yes it appears you are.

Of course this comparison has merit.  The SR is just one group of people many of who are standing up to the tyranny of the US federal government, state governments, foreign governments and all of the associated LEO/Military enforcers.  Specifically the document the United States of America was founded on the Declaration of Independence, guaranteed the pursuit of happiness to all its citizens.  The drug war blatantly and unquestionably violates this founding essential principal. 

To the point that I cannot see how any reasonable person who prosecutes this drug war on their fellow countrymen think they are doing anything other than being a thug, thief and tyrant.  I guess they feel that since they are not the one murdering men, women and children in cold blood in a place like Mexico.  Or that they are not the specific individuals in a cartel who knowingly poisons others on a mass scale in order to profiteer.  That they and I mean they as in perhaps your local police officer or citizen good doer(snitch) bare no responsibility for victims of the drug war. 

It is silly to try to argue this current incident is not as bad as this historical event so how dare you compare them.  We are all complicit in this tragedy to some extent.  It is easier to blame the drug lord and his hit men than the congressman and the police.  Just like it is easy to blame Hitler and the SS but harder to blame the German citizens who looked the other way.  (And did you see what I did there?  I did not just compare Hitler and the congressman and the SS and the police directly.  History is seldom that cut and dry DO NOT try to make it so or your complicity in all humanities woes surely grows just a bit...)

How do we get to be a more perfect union is not something that just magically happens.  We need to discuss it and yes some peoples egos may be hurt but they will hopefully recover and we will all be better off because of it...
