We Have The Power

[DragonStryk72]

Sage, you are right, and a few years ago I would have told you that you were wrong, but as I have started to see the way that things are being run, I just can't fathom how it got this bad. I kow logically that this is a problem that has been going for a good while, probably since McCarthyism got going, at least, if not longer. It seems, though, as if it just suddenly appeared, because before I did not see it.

We do need to get back to simple government, a government that everyone can really understand. The scariest words in our language these days can be summed up as, "I'm from the federal government, and I'm here to help."

there is another line of the declaration that is also useful in this: "Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security"

My thought is that the first order of business is a question, "What do we want?"

Disband the PRIVATE CORPORATION that controls our money supply, The Federal Reserve. Reindex the dollar to some kind of tangible good, perhaps a grouping of commodities, soybeans, gold, silver, oil. Limit trade to partners with the same view of individual rights and freedom, so the barbarity of servitude and slavery is not rewarded with the dollars of the free. Mandatory gun ownership for all adults over 21. Just a couple ideas. what have you got?

[Monkeybone]

why the gun owership? to defend/rise against when a call to arms is ushered?

Yep. And because it will make violent crime virtually non-existant, and because guns are cool.

[Monkeybone]

agreed. but if they do that, then you should have to qualify every month or so. would they do regular screenings on ppl to make sure that they ain't nutzoid?

Only upon evidence of schizoid behavior. A vehicle is just as lethal as a gun, and we let any idiot get a drivers license.

Fascist.......upon use of that word, with no evidence to back up using that word, the author immediately relegates himself to obscurity, it has always been this way with this author.

I am currently exploring business opportunities and investment in China, its a money pot for capitalists like me.

Now THAT, I can agree with, although I'd peg the dollar to silver.
