Protests, like rebellions, have a long and glorious history of NOT WORKING. The American revolution was a notable change in that history, because the rebellion worked for about six years, then failed. The failure was local, in area, to an area called Washington, D.C., and spread quickly to include all states. The Declaration of Independence clearly made God, the Creator, the master and lawmaker for the nation. The people were supposed to live in a nation ruled under "the law of nature and of nature's God" and have all the freedom to which those laws entitled them. The rights that they had were endowed by their Creator, not by man. Six years later, a group of unelected men overthrew this system of government by writing a document that began with a LOOOONG sentence, which I will paraphrase here, -- "We, certain People of the United States, in order to form our own, more unanimous Union, establish MAN'S justice, instead of God's, disturb the peace that God can provide for an obedient people, trust in our own arms instead of God's Divine protection, rob from the rich and dole out to the poor (taking our cut out of the middle), and secure the Blessings of freedom to our small group of unelected lawyers and politicians, do ordain, establish, and CREATE [and act reserved to God] our own Constitution for the United States of America. " And then, to prove to thee entire world that they were relieving God of any right or power of governing America, they placed Article 1, Section 8, clauses 17 & 18 in that constitution, giving themselves ESCLUSIVE legislation and LAW MAKING authority for carrying out any poower that they wanted to give themselves. As coonclusive proof that this is the intended result of the Constitution, I give you, -- taaa DAAAAA!!!, --Bill Clinton (Stroke of the pen. Law of the land. Kinda Cool!) The mere FACT that this government exists, unconvicted by impeachment by legislature, is proof that the constitution is working as intended. Patrick Henry predicted it. History confirms it. The bible gave us the example in King Omri. Please locate a Strong's Concordance and read all that God says about King Omri. Incidentally, Ameri-ca is named after King Omri, with the suffix that carries the connotation of a Jezabel. May the study of God's Law lead us into all truth. Burney
