Great, do something about it.

Go vote for a presidential candidate you think would stop the war. Oh wait, your vote means jack. You don't matter, you're just a lowly citizen. They own you. They own me. They own everybody who isn't on the board of some giant corporation.
Go start a public riot over this video. Let me know when you're done, maybe I'll contribute a little towards your bail.
Go send a letter to your congressman and tell him to do something about it. Oh wait, he doesn't give a shit.
Go send this video to a news/media corporation. Oh wait, they'll try harder to suppress this video than they would making people aware.
Stop paying your taxes so you can sleep at night knowing you didn't fund the war. I'll buy you a lunch when the IRS is liquidating your assets.

Waaa waaa waaa at least 51% of people voting in elections don't believe what I believe therefore my solitary little vote is meaningless and the system is rigged because I don't agree with the majority. :rolleyes:

I keep hearing the argument that some things are constitutional while other things are not. The idea is that we should be in favor of all the things that were decided over 200 years ago by a bunch of slave-owning cross-dressers who pooped in holes.

Because concepts like natural rights belonging to you at the moment of your birth by virtue of the fact that you exist espoused and enshrined in both the Declaration of Independence and the United States Constitution are so terribly outdated in the 21st century. Seems those people who "pooped in holes" were more enlightened than you can possibly fathom. Note that unlike you and sadly many of my fellow citizens they understood that rights are not granted by the US government rather that government is necessary to ensure that those rights are not infringed upon and that one of the greatest threats to them is the existence of that very government. That we have made it this far with most of our rights intact and further extended to those to whom they didn't previously attach to speaks well of their attempt to accomplish what they set out to do.
