Liberty Preservation for Dummies by D. Saul Weiner
One year after he has made his case for taking the country to war and the Congress has declared war, a referendum shall be made on the question of whether or not the president has deceived the citizens into supporting the war venture. If a majority votes yes, the president will need to step down. Now what kinds of rituals might truly reinforce a consequence such as this? Hearkening back to earlier American history, the practice of tar and feathering comes to mind. Of course, religions are a great potential source of inspiration for ritual practices.
