No comment. But King George will know when the Declaration is signed and delivered to him.

How many times must some people be reminded to address the issue, not attack people.
There is no evidence that the OP has made other than a legitimate request. Agree that not many here will likely respond productively to such an overly broad set of questions.
All should be cautioned to review rule#15 to avoid thread lock.

I am doing an essay relating to the 2nd amendment and revolutions. What did it take for our founding fathers to revolt? what would it take for you to revolt? Is the government doing any of those things? Thought provoking.

discussing revolt or the circumstances in which I would consider that, are all protected by the 1A .............

Grapeshot: conversation(s), per se, do not lead to heresay...however narrow control could exacerbate the situation. as you are fond of saying...let's stay focused and not try to postulate where or what is around the next corner
j4l: the use of social media was one of the main contributors in the Mubarak's Egyptian government demise and perhaps should be considered the replacement of the lantern used by those assisting paul...the folks running the BART realized that and shut it down their communication grid based solely on the premise there might be trouble...interestingly, there was minimal backlash...humm wonder if that was a government experiment to see what the populace would do...
also of interest in the demise of Mubarak's control was the military's restraint in firing on the Egyptian populace. Now that the military is in control, they now find it necessary to control said populace with violence....wonder if our military and police would show such restraint?? opps sorry i might be rounding a corner i shouldn't...

Plus ça change, plus c'est la même chose *
Many many years ago in a far off land called Persia lived a perceived tyrant of the country's people called Shah who had to deal w/a personal foe who was broadcasting anti Shah rethoric throughout the country over the loud speakers of the neighborhood mosque's minaret. Shah supporters, managed to cut off the local mosque's electricity in most neighborhood during prayer time(s) to prevent the rethoric from reaching the masses. (masterfully and selectively accomplished as it was targeted to mosques and not say to the hospital next door to the mosque). the mosque's imam could not hollar loud enough to over come the local traffic and other community noise so instead of reaching masses they only reached a handfull of the foe's supporters. alas, a powerful third party interjected their will and convienced other nations to push the Shah to follow suit so unfortunately the Shah listened and restrained his military against those who threatened his reign and ultimately had to leave the country to the current regime... much to the regret of the majority of the world.
and you are absolutely correct on the other factors being involved in egypt (pesky powerful third party instigators again eh..) but remember it only took a short period of time with a modern communcation infrastructure in place and without military support to have Mubarak conceed and how much longer Qadahfi maintained control w/o the modern communication infrastructure in his country and his military supporting him to maintain control (except w/those pesky third party instigators kept those against Qadahfi well supplied w/satfones and other overthrow goods and services.
BTW there are other instances throughout the current world where the miliary leaders do not hesitate to regain control of a country, Türkei, Pakistan, Philippines and a few other immediately come to mind when it appears, in their opinion, the civilian leaders are going somewhere they do not approve.
Always remember, 'one person's freedom fighter is another's terrorist!' (08/06/06, George Galloway, Parliament Member, so stated during an interview with Skywatch news in defense of Hizbollah and the fight of Lebanon against Isreal)
*The proverb is of French origin and was originally used by the French novelist Alphonse Karr (1808-90). It also appears in George Bernard Shaw's 'Revolutionist's Handbook' (1903).
