Thanks for the history lesson. The truth of the matter is that this country's founders truly were guilty of treason. Had I been there, I would have been guilty as well. No one doubts that the current US government is in deep need of a morality check. Unfortunately, it is "We the People" who insist on allowing the continuation of corruption within not only washington, but our own city government. We're too busy voting for the next American Idol to bother researching the next American President. The 18 to 24 year old crowd that put Obama in office, can't wait for the next election "party bus" to roll through and take them to the polls to vote that straight ticket.... even though most of them don't even know what that is. As I said before, there may come a time that forceful change in government is needed, until that time I will fully support the Constitution, even if my elected officials do not.
1. Treason, sedition mean disloyalty or treachery to one's country or its government. Treason is any attempt to overthrow the government or impair the well-being of a state to which one owes allegiance; the crime of giving aid or comfort to the enemies of one's government. Sedition is any act, writing, speech, etc., directed unlawfully against state authority, the government, or constitution, or calculated to bring it into contempt or to incite others to hostility, ill will or disaffection; it does not amount to treason and therefore is not a capital offense.
