Hero? via yahoo news
"BEIJING – When Li Shiming was stabbed through the heart by a hired assassin, few of his fellow villagers mourned the local Communist Party official many say made their lives hell by seizing land, extorting money and bullying people for years.
Instead, villagers in the northern town of Xiashuixi have made Li's teenage killer something of a local hero. More than 20,000 people from the coal-mining area petitioned a court for a lenient sentence.
"I didn't feel surprised at all when I heard Li Shiming was killed, because people wanted to kill him a long time ago," said villager Xin Xiaomei, who says her husband was harassed for years by Li after the two men had a personal dispute. "I wanted to kill Li myself, but I was too weak."
So is he a hero?
"That to secure these rights, governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed. That whenever any form of government becomes destructive to 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"
-Declaration of Independence
Maybe the wrong way to go about retaliation, but in china it doesn't matter how well you pay a lawyer, the government will always win, unless you remind them who keeps it afloat. Hero sounds just fine to me, just listen to the petition of 20,000 people.

This is the declaration of independence for the society of the internet.
Kids of my time ( just before the search engines began to replace encyclopedias), and when books were still the norm, we hated learning about the constitution. It was complicated and we didn’t see how it applied to our real world life (after all we were kids, not lawyers, even though liar liar had helped us to question the justice system), yet we were told time and time again of the constitutions great importance. It was hard to bring practical application to this old ass document, because of all the tricks certain "non-philanthropic" parts of society pull in order to loophole the constitution ever since it’s inception.
On the internet I always tend to run in to the constitution, or the declaration, as an argument ender. This is an entity that even the system must account for, and if the majority of voices are heard, then the corporations being influenced by We the People of the Internet, who are in control of our own happiness, within the Society of the Internet, will start to influence the politicians checkbooks, and some façade of change must occur, and once a problem thought solved is in the public consciousness, we will not forget it, and we must continue to persevere until the people's voices unite, and they will hold oversight, on those still found destroying the happiness of others. We that believe in this document, those of us that believe in the right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, will continue to work for the peace and happiness of every human, even those we have cast out. Anyone caught infringing on these natural rights, will either be shunned or labeled by,
We the People of the Internet.
So this website will be a forum for what I think is injustice, my views on society, and mine and my friends artwork for all to share. If some of my opinions are not liked or not agreed upon, then I invite you call my bullshit, hopefully without violent insult, that way I can modify my own personal views to accommodate new factual information, that I have yet to think about. This is a place for me to share my ideas and art with the internet community, so if they become inspired by it,they can use it. FREE to all. Hopefully for the betterment of society.
