Well I guess i'll speak my words...
When at that time people formed 13 Colonies, and they wanted to separate from British so they fought the whole shit (for example, for not liking the taxes that british put on them) and then became fully independent......I liked that shit
And now, it seems that U.S. Gov't is now stronger against its own people, I don't know, and plus it seems that people are either lazy or obsessed, and brainwashed with entertainment, I don't know. Maybe if people wanted what they wanted and stood up stronger like back in 13 Colonies era, things would've been different now, such as protesting about some u.s. soldiers killing innocents, country-wise political business, etc....
