    You have no rights. A group called "the people" has rights.

    Absurd.

    That's not an argument demonstrating absurdity. All you do is say you disagree and repeat your assertions.


    "It is self-evident that each of us exists as an individual."

    Yet we do not. We exist in society, as a part of a people attached to a place and with a history. You are conceived as the union of a father's and mother's DNA, nurtured in a family, brought up in a community, educated in a school, work in a company, exchange goods and services in a market, possibly marry and raise your own family, etc etc etc.


    "It is self-evident that every living thing has a right of self-defense."

    One, I do not deny at all that we exist and that we have a right to self-defense or that "every living thing" does. I do deny we exist as abstract individuals. We exist as social beings.

    Two, it is interesting that when you try to find other words to repeat your ideology of individualism you speak in terms of groups like "every living thing." It can't be helped because we do not exist as individuals but as parts of a society, part of every living thing.


    To this you will insult, you will repeat assertions. You do not argue anything.

    The subject of the thread is to stop the need for a revolution is to enter into evolution,

    The Bill of Rights reveal the guarantees the People have will be kept by their freedoms.

    They are not written to "soak the rich" to give to ?, but to give back all of their rights,

    That they who pay tithes and offerings, of extra to a government, that is way out of touch with realities,

    Limited liability it has given itself as the best managers can be found at the local level of central stations,

    No food when it is rivers where civilizations have prospered as grown and yet the fish can't breathe rocks,

    When nations live as if the sea level is not rising but yet it has but true science was never cold-war tactics.





    ***/\/\/\ derived from the history of the origin of government, in all of time it is called the Abrahamic covenant,

    Collectively, together, no person left, for it is where they live, it is where wealth is, for it is God who created all of it.

    The state and local governments who are closest to the people, not Washington, D.C., and its program of a government,

    Tax and spend to taxed to the point of the infrastructure is in need of repairs and that rivers overflow because of cement,

    America asked that real persons be given a fair living wage + benefits + housing resources + the ability to control their own local resources,

    The Storehouse: At the local level, the communities know what their needs are, not the outdated models,

    To all the tithes and offerings be gathered in at the local level, counted by cities,

    the county level given the right to not send one dime to the federal government,

    The states may send what they feel is competent,

    because that is the way to have self-government.
