Does everyone here feel the same? If so, what is it that you believe in that would force you to become and outlaw?

Were the colonists simply paying their fair share by helping to pay for the expenditures of the colonies for the UK or were they unfairly burdened with such taxation?

Equality has often served as a code word for redress from grievances both real and imagined.

Originally posted by whodeyIf I'm denied the right to live the life I believe in, I'd convince other Americans to push for a change to the U.S. Constitution. I can't think of anything much at all that would push me to live as an outlaw. It would take something like a federal law mandating female genital mutilation.
