killing a president isn't overthrowing a government Tell that to the bankers who had them killed….Oh wait…you're right…killing the bankers would have been overthrowing the government; the murdered presidents were just disobedient employees…at least the last two were…the first two didn't want to work for them. in a culture that is obese, and instantly gratified, and plugged into 'technology' americans arent overthrowing diddly,, let alone the trained and career professional death makers that work in our government,,, Sadly, there is much truth in what you say. It is those very people whose sheeplike, self-serving apathy has allowed the government to deteriorate to the point it has. The whole country had better hope to G-d that at least 5% of the people aren't like that (based on the assumption that an effective revolt only requires 5% of the people) or the country and its people are doomed. the government has only 'deteriorated' as much as the populace it represents they are not remotely disconnected entities,,, By your own words then, your government has become an obese entity out for (self-serving) instant gratification....A very astute observation on your part...I'm in complete agreement. |

You tell me…should the people change to accommodate the government, or should the government change to accommodate the people? CAN the people or the government change without bloodshed?

He was popular with the people too from what I understand. Unfortunately the government of the day didn't want to follow His example, so they made an example of Him. Maybe if there had been a thousand or two just like Him, the government might have been more amenable to a peaceful revolution. moral: Don't look to a leader...Be one. |

One man as a leader is no good; he can always be brought down (easily), and if he is, the followers are lost and can be scattered to the four winds. A people united could walk shoulder to shoulder into the pits of Hell and conquer it. It's the shoulder to shoulder part you missed…no biggie. |
