Now In South Carolina For $5 You Can Overthrow The Government  

My state can sure come up with some duzzies. I had not heard of this. Thanks for letting me know.
Gee..wouldn't that mean the republican and democratic parties would have to pay it. Not to mention all the lobbyists, corporations and special interest groups in this state that buy off our elected officials? They sure are "subversive".

As for the $5.00...it is soooo laughable.

Intersting and stark contrast...My state constitution states clearly in article 10 that: "[Art.] 10. [Right of Revolution.] Government being instituted for the common benefit, protection, and security, of the whole community, and not for the private interest or emolument of any one man, family, or class of men; therefore, whenever the ends of government are perverted, and public liberty manifestly endangered, and all other means of redress are ineffectual, the people may, and of right ought to reform the old, or establish a new government. The doctrine of nonresistance against arbitrary power, and oppression, is absurd, slavish, and destructive of the good and happiness of mankind."

these a UK comedian called Mark Thomas who makes comedy out of the stupidities of British laws. Especially amusing was the one requiring registration of demonstrations around the parliament.www.mcdemos.com and links therefrom

What a laugh. I suppose if you really wanted to be subversive, you could register a whole bunch of non-existent "subversive" organisations with false names and addresses (to confuse the cops and the beaurocrats) and pay the fee with forged notes (to help crash the economy).

Count your blessings though. In South Carolina, the government taxes terrorists. Here in Britain, we give terrorists ministerial positions in the government of Northern Ireland, as long as they promise to stop killing people.
