Resist

…Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient Causes; and accordingly all Experience hath shewn, that [Humankind] are more disposed to suffer, while Evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the Forms to which they are accustomed.

It may and probably is the case that the People will need to create a new global movement dedicated to Establishing these self-evident Truths, that all People are created equal, with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness.

If you are interested in working on a revival of The BeZine, to bring it back— as editors, managers, public relations, and web-publishers, please email: editor@TheBeZiine.com. iIntroduce yourself, explain what you would like to do to help, and describe what your experience is (note: we use WordPress to publish).
