"When in the Course of human events it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. — That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, — That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security. — Such has been the patient sufferance of these Colonies; and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former Systems of Government. The history of the present King of Great Britain is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute Tyranny over these States. To prove this, let Facts be submitted to a candid world.

He has refused his Assent to Laws, the most wholesome and necessary for the public good.

He has forbidden his Governors to pass Laws of immediate and pressing importance, unless suspended in their operation till his Assent should be obtained; and when so suspended, he has utterly neglected to attend to them.

He has refused to pass other Laws for the accommodation of large districts of people, unless those people would relinquish the right of Representation in the Legislature, a right inestimable to them and formidable to tyrants only.

He has called together legislative bodies at places unusual, uncomfortable, and distant from the depository of their Public Records, for the sole purpose of fatiguing them into compliance with his measures.

He has dissolved Representative Houses repeatedly, for opposing with manly firmness his invasions on the rights of the people.

He has refused for a long time, after such dissolutions, to cause others to be elected, whereby the Legislative Powers, incapable of Annihilation, have returned to the People at large for their exercise; the State remaining in the mean time exposed to all the dangers of invasion from without, and convulsions within.

He has endeavoured to prevent the population of these States; for that purpose obstructing the Laws for Naturalization of Foreigners; refusing to pass others to encourage their migrations hither, and raising the conditions of new Appropriations of Lands.

He has obstructed the Administration of Justice by refusing his Assent to Laws for establishing Judiciary Powers.

He has made Judges dependent on his Will alone for the tenure of their offices, and the amount and payment of their salaries.

He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harass our people and eat out their substance.

He has kept among us, in times of peace, Standing Armies without the Consent of our legislatures.

He has affected to render the Military independent of and superior to the Civil Power.

He has combined with others to subject us to a jurisdiction foreign to our constitution, and unacknowledged by our laws; giving his Assent to their Acts of pretended Legislation:

For quartering large bodies of armed troops among us:

For protecting them, by a mock Trial from punishment for any Murders which they should commit on the Inhabitants of these States:

For cutting off our Trade with all parts of the world:

For imposing Taxes on us without our Consent:

For depriving us in many cases, of the benefit of Trial by Jury:

For transporting us beyond Seas to be tried for pretended offences:

For abolishing the free System of English Laws in a neighbouring Province, establishing therein an Arbitrary government, and enlarging its Boundaries so as to render it at once an example and fit instrument for introducing the same absolute rule into these Colonies

For taking away our Charters, abolishing our most valuable Laws and altering fundamentally the Forms of our Governments:

For suspending our own Legislatures, and declaring themselves invested with power to legislate for us in all cases whatsoever.

He has abdicated Government here, by declaring us out of his Protection and waging War against us.

He has plundered our seas, ravaged our coasts, burnt our towns, and destroyed the lives of our people.

He is at this time transporting large Armies of foreign Mercenaries to compleat the works of death, desolation, and tyranny, already begun with circumstances of Cruelty & Perfidy scarcely paralleled in the most barbarous ages, and totally unworthy the Head of a civilized nation.

He has constrained our fellow Citizens taken Captive on the high Seas to bear Arms against their Country, to become the executioners of their friends and Brethren, or to fall themselves by their Hands.

He has excited domestic insurrections amongst us, and has endeavoured to bring on the inhabitants of our frontiers, the merciless Indian Savages whose known rule of warfare, is an undistinguished destruction of all ages, sexes and conditions.

In every stage of these Oppressions We have Petitioned for Redress in the most humble terms: Our repeated Petitions have been answered only by repeated injury. A Prince, whose character is thus marked by every act which may define a Tyrant, is unfit to be the ruler of a free people.

Nor have We been wanting in attentions to our British brethren. We have warned them from time to time of attempts by their legislature to extend an unwarrantable jurisdiction over us. We have reminded them of the circumstances of our emigration and settlement here. We have appealed to their native justice and magnanimity, and we have conjured them by the ties of our common kindred to disavow these usurpations, which would inevitably interrupt our connections and correspondence. They too have been deaf to the voice of justice and of consanguinity. We must, therefore, acquiesce in the necessity, which denounces our Separation, and hold them, as we hold the rest of mankind, Enemies in War, in Peace Friends.

We, therefore, the Representatives of the united States of America, in General Congress, Assembled, appealing to the Supreme Judge of the world for the rectitude of our intentions, do, in the Name, and by Authority of the good People of these Colonies, solemnly publish and declare, That these united Colonies are, and of Right ought to be Free and Independent States, that they are Absolved from all Allegiance to the British Crown, and that all political connection between them and the State of Great Britain, is and ought to be totally dissolved; and that as Free and Independent States, they have full Power to levy War, conclude Peace, contract Alliances, establish Commerce, and to do all other Acts and Things which Independent States may of right do. — And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of Divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes, and our sacred Honor.

{Fic} Four Reasons [SOA: Jax/Tara]

scread — Sun, 09 Nov 2008 18:46:48 GMT

Title: Four Reasons
Author: Scread
Fandom: Sons of Anarchy
Shipping: Tara/Jax
Summary: Tara can think of four reasons why she should leave Charming and Jax.
Disclaimer: Obviously not mine.

She could think of four reasons why she shouldn't be doing this. She can think of four reasons why she is scared to let Jax in. She thought them up so she would have an excuse for Gemma and everyone else who asks her, why did she give him up and leave?

First of all, the most obvious reason, she does not like crime. Sure she likes the bad boys and lord help her does she love those motorcycles. But neither of those things are important enough to ignore the fact that when you date a son of anarchy, there's a good chance he'll be in prison most of the time. Long mornings in a prison visiting room and long nights in bed alone didn't appeal much to her. Watching Charming's local news with the phone clutched tight in your hand is not what she wants. Constant worrying and fear that the person you love will be sent away for years or even worse life. She couldn't do it.

Secondly, the violence. She has seen time and time again the pain that ripples through a family when one of the members dies. She saw the devastation on the newly single mother's face when she finds out her husband had been murdered. The price of being someone's old lady is sometimes a heavy cross to carry. She can't even imagine Clay showing up at her door with the news. She can't bury him.

Her third reason would definitely be the lifestyle. She does love the bad boys, but she can't be a 'ride and die' chick. Truthfully, she doesn't want to die. She's terrified of dying. One of the reasons she became a doctor was to spare others from living that fear. The chances of her dying were slim. After all, look at Gemma. She's a grandma and still kicking. With her mouth who would have thought that possible. Still, the idea terrifies her. Also, she's not a classy finer things in life kind of girl, but waking up every morning and walking out of their room to see drunken bikers passed out on pool tables... she's a bit classier than that. Her father had been a horrible drunk and since she doesn't want to associate herself with that kind of thing. She wants a nice little house with a white fence. She wants a family, some kids who can run around the front yard and never have to fear that their Daddy is going to leave them. What's so horrible about that?

The fourth reason and most obvious reason is no one here really needs her. The club is already on the fence about whether or not they trust her. Charming doesn't need her. She left once to escape this place and even without her there the town keep moving. People moved on. Life went on in Charming without her and it would again if she leaves. Jax would be upset but he would get over it. Like he did last time.

There are four solid reasons why she should pack up and leave. Get out while she can. But each and every one of those reasons disappear when his lips touch hers. When his hands slide up her bare side, leaving goosebumps in their wake. When he whispers 'I love you' right before looking into her eyes. When he kisses her and holds her and loves her, she can think of one reason to go. She loves him too. And that is more important than anything else. If he gets locked up, she'll be there every day. When the bullets fly, she'll stand beside him. When the guys get drunk, she'll grin and accept it. When she thinks about leaving the town that moved on without her, she'll remember that one person in the town didn't move on without her, and that someone is worth sticking around for. Fear is a devious little bastard, but love will always be there to kick it in the ass. Sons of Anarchy style.

In the late 1950's most Cubans thought Cuba needed a

change and they were right.
So when a young, dynamic leader
came along, every Cuban was at least receptive.
When the young leader spoke eloquently and passionately and denounced
the old system, the press fell in love with him.
They never questioned who his friends were or what he really believed in.

He said he would help the farmers and the poor and bring
free medical care and education to all, and everyone followed.
He said he would bring justice and equality to
all, and everyone said "Praise the Lord!"

The young leader said, "I will be for change and
I'll bring you change," and everyone yelled,
"Viva Fidel!"

But by the time the executioner's guns went silent, the
people's guns had been taken away.
By the time everyone was equal, they were equally poor, hungry, and oppressed.
By the time everyone received their free education it was worth nothing.

By the time the press noticed, it was too late, because they were now working for him.
By the time the change was finally implemented Cuba had been knocked down a couple of
notches to Third-World status.
By the time the change was over more than a million people had taken to boats, rafts,
and inner tubes. Luckily, we in America would never fall for a young leader who promised change without asking, what change?

Stole from ackless

Subject:* Jay Leno on discontentment in America (Nice surprise) This is an awesome reminder of what a wonderful country America is, and how easily we can become ungrateful and negative.? No matter what your political convictions are this is an eye opener. Subject: Jay Leno on President Bush (Surprising) Jay Leno wrote this; it's the Jay Leno we don't often see.... As most of you know I am not a President Bush fan, but this is not about Bush, it is about us, as Americans, and it seems to hit the mark. 'The other day I was reading Newsweek magazine and came across some Poll data I found rather hard to believe. It must be true given the source, right?? The Newsweek poll alleges that 67 percent of Americans are unhappy with? the direction the country is headed and 69 percent of the country is unhappy with the performance of the President.? In essence 2/3 of the citizenry just ain't happy and want a change. So being the knuckle dragger I am, I started thinking, 'What are we so unhappy about?' A. Is it that we have electricity and running water 24 hours a day, 7 Days a week? B. Is our unhappiness the result of having air conditioning in the summer and heating in the winter? C. Could it be that 95.4 percent of these unhappy folks have a job? D. Maybe it is the ability to walk into a grocery store at any time and see more food in moments than Darfur has seen in the last year? E. Maybe it is the ability to drive our cars and trucks from the Pacific Ocean to the Atlantic Ocean without having to present identification papers as we move? through each state? F. Or possibly the hundreds of clean and safe motels we would find along the way that can provide temporary shelter? G. I guess having thousands of restaurants with varying cuisine from around the world is just not good enough either. H. Or could it be that when we wreck our car, emergency workers show up and provide services to help all and even send a helicopter to take you to the hospital. I. Perhaps you are one of the 70 percent of Americans who own a home. J. You may be upset with knowing that in the unfortunate case of a fire, a group of trained firefighters will appear in moments and use top notch equipment to extinguish the flames, thus saving you, your family, and your belongings. K. Or if, while at home watching one of your many flat screen TVs, a burglar or prowler intrudes, an officer equipped with a gun and a bullet-proof vest will come to defend you and your family against attack or loss. L. This all in the backdrop of a neighborhood free of bombs or militias raping and pillaging the residents.? Neighborhoods where? 90% of teenagers own cell phones and computers. M. How about the complete religious, social and political freedoms we enjoy that are the envy of everyone in the world?? Maybe that is what has 67% of you folks unhappy.? Fact is, we are the largest group of ungrateful, spoiled brats the world has ever seen.? No wonder the world loves the U.S., yet has a great disdain for its citizens.? They see us for what we are. The most blessed people in the world who do nothing but complain about what we don't have, and what we hate about the country instead of thanking the good Lord we live here.? I know, I know. What about the president who took us into war and has no plan to get us out? The president who has a measly 31 percent approval rating? Is this the same president who guided the nation in the dark days after 9/11???? The president that cut taxes to bring an economy out of recession? Could this be the same guy who has been called every name in the book for succeeding in keeping all the spoiled ungrateful brats safe from terrorist attacks? The commander in chief of an all-volunteer army that is out there defending you and me?? Did you hear how bad the President is on the news or talk show?? Did this news affect you so much, make you so unhappy you couldn't take a look around for yourself and see all the good things and be glad? Think about it......are you upset at the President because he actually caused you personal pain OR is it because the 'Media' told you he was failing to kiss your sorry ungrateful behind every day.? Make no mistake about it. The troops in Iraq and Afghanistan have volunteered to serve, and in many cases may have died for your freedom. There is currently no draft in this country. They didn't have to go. They are able to refuse to go and end up with either a ''general'' discharge, an 'other than honorable'' discharge or, worst case scenario, a ''dishonorable'' discharge after a few days in the brig.? So why then the flat-out discontentment in the minds of 69 percent of Americans? Say what you want but I blame it on the media.???If it bleeds it leads and they specialize in bad news. Everybody will watch a car crash with blood and guts.? How many will watch kids selling lemonade at the corner? The media knows this and media outlets are for-profit corporations.? They offer what sells, and when criticized, try to defend their actions by 'justifying' them in one way or another. Just ask why they tried to allow a murderer like O.J. Simpson to write a book about how he didn't kill his wife, but if he did he would have done it this way......Insane! Turn off the TV, burn Newsweek, and use the New York Times for the bottom of your bird cage. Then start being grateful for all we have as a country. There is exponentially more good than bad.? We are among the most blessed people on Earth and should thank God several times a day, or at least be thankful and appreciative.'? 'With hurricanes, tornados, fires out of control, mud slides, flooding, severe thunderstorms tearing up the country from one end to another, and with the threat of bird flu and terrorist attacks, 'Are we sure this is a good time to take God out of the Pledge of Allegiance?' Jay Leno
