Another formative part of my psyche
The best part of the movie National Treasure (2004) is when Ben Gates (well played by Nicholas Cage) quotes the Declaration of Independence thusly
That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.and summarizes "if there is something wrong, those who have the ability to take action have the responsibility to take action." To date I have never heard such an eloquent distillation of the ideals of Cincinnatus and the code by which our forefathers lived as they founded our nation.
