I'm not sure it will be in the form of a resurrection -- resurrection is too close to insurrection to suit me. But in any case, based in my stout belief in irony, it is highly likely that you are correct regarding the political substance of any afterlife. I don't think that the right to dissent will be lost or suppressed. Our history, short though it may be, has always been in the overall direction of freedom and individual responsibility. I don't see that changing easily -- or at all.
