Feel free to have a tea party. We here in the states had a big one in
the 1700's...it worked wonders towards our independence. We substituted
one evil with our own evil. At least we can voted ours out of office
every few years.

Or you can kill all the politicians, but before you do that, you have to
first kill all the lawyers...then you will truly be free.
