If a slave kills their master is it murder? Was it murder when the founding fathers fought against their British oppressors? Of course it isn't. On a battle field if a soldier kills an opposing soldier, is it murder? Has that soldier set themselves up as judge, jury, and executioner? Not at all.
     There is no monarchy ignoring people across the sea. There is no vicious slaver cracking a whip. There is no 'Proffesor Darkevil' trying to take over the world. Well, Bush might want to but he doesn't have the time in office left...
     Yes, there are corrupt people in the system. But there is no way every Judge in the US is a bad person. Most of the people in the system at least start off trying to do some good. Many believe they are doing the right thing. They are trying to do the best for the people they can. Instead of voting for better people you want to shoot the ones that are in now. Is paying taxes (or not, in your case) enough to shoot another man? As oposed to continuing to work through the system?
     You make it sound like you are going to line up and face down the US military and smite them with your rightousness.
     You are not talking about reform, you are talking about destruction. Killing fathers and mothers that, in many cases, are just as sure that they are following the Constitution as you are. The difference is that they work in the system to accoplish what they think are improvements. You say you'll shoot them.
     The odd part is that you can't see that calling us idiots for not agreeing with everything you say is against the very idea "all men are created equal." You are not the first person to say that. Like too many off them your suggested actions add, "But some are more equal than others."
     From the beginning of this you've made your superiority clear. We can't understand because we are idiots. So we should listen to your "vast" knowledge and experience. No, all of us are equalls. We have a right to ideas different than yours without the threat of war. You say that they are wrong because they threaten to jail anyone that doesn't so as told. You threaten revolution. You have certainly proven yourself superior to them. You'll kill instead of jail. Way to go.
