And Saxons are "more disposed to suffer, while Evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the Forms to which they are accustomed."<br /><br />But, as many others have pointed out, between the disdain with which the Ruling Class treats everyone else, the cost of heath care skyrocketing, and the entitlement attitude of so many people, roughly half of those that voted had clearly decided not to suffer any longer.<br /><br />Fair disclosure, I'm an anarchist (no rulers, not no rules, thank you for understanding Greek), so I do not chose to vote and be complicit in the biggest threat to our safety and prosperity (the government).

I believe they will be disappointed, and some of them even seem to expect that, but they wanted to send a message of "Stop it!
