“When Tyranny Becomes Law, Rebellion Becomes Duty”

Thomas Jefferson

Rebels Are History’S Romantic Heroes And Heroines, Sometimes Revolutionaries And Sometimes Just Great Looking Men And Women With Loads Of Charisma, And Sometimes Both! Good Looking Or Out To Make Their Mark, All Rebels Have One Thing In Common, They Changed Things And Often Upset The Apple Cart In The Process. Rebels Challenge And Often Upset The Status Quo – A Healthy Thing To Do But Too Much Of It And A Rebel Becomes A Rebellion.

For Jefferson, This Quote Of His Is Drafted Into The Declaration Of Independence – If Government Does Do Its Duty To Protect Peoples’ “Safety And Happiness” Then People Must Change The Government!

Rebels Are Icons In Their Sphere Of Influence, So If You Know An Icon, This Is The Band For Them!
