The first wave of negativity

Obviously with my recent ravings about the evils of the government of man, I have encountered many attitudes. Mostly positive, but I want to discuss the negative responses. One of these is a completely negative response, and one was a mere attitude based on a misunderstanding. The negative comment is “I’m tired of hearing about the system” and I will get back to that after I explain the other misunderstanding first. My friend was debating my views. He has been pretty open to what I’ve said, but like we all should do, I think that he processed some of this stuff over time, and started making his own conclusions. 1. He thought I was talking about the American government specifically. It is easy to understand why since I have the greatest knowledge of this government as opposed to others. I am doing everything I can to learn about other governments, but for now, I cite examples from my government to open eyes. 2. He thinks that all the people who have government jobs such as teachers and policeman will be out of jobs and will discontinue helping society because they are no longer getting paid. He is right in his belief that we need those two entities, but people who want their services can pay them for their services. His argument was that not every person can afford that protection, and he might even be scared that only the rich fat fuckers in this world would be the only ones afforded those particular services.

What he is failing to realize is that money is the root of that evil. And those guys that got rich from controlling people wouldn’t be accepted in an anarchy based society. And the taxes that we pay to support all the bullshit government jobs (obviously teachers and policeman are not bullshit government jobs) would stay in your pocket…therefore giving you more money to subscribe to teacher’s and policeman’s services. So you would not lose those services. You would only lose the oppression that every government has forced upon its “constituents” and you would be able to be yourself. Imagine the stress relief, if you could be yourself. Imagine the creative ideas that would stem from people who no longer had to be censored. Creativity is the mother of invention.

When America was new and pure, the colonists had been living together, producing what was necessary to live under an English government. When they revolted, what happened? They continued to live together and produce what was necessary to survive. How can that be?If we need the government, how were those people able to maintain every day life without the English government telling them what to do? Will you say that our new government helped us organize that? How could it have? They barely even knew what this new government was…how long did it take to write a constitution? So were the streets mired in chaos and rioting until they finally came up with The Constitution? I could tell you the answer, but I’d rather you find out for yourself. If you don’t want to, come to me. Let the sheep be herded, I only want to be heard by people who care.

As for the negative comment I can only say this. My ideas are not just about bringing “the system” down…yes I believe that we will all be better for it, but what I am truly fighting for is our individuality. I am showing you what is truly right and wrong in this world. You don’t need to be a slave to anybody. Native Americans didn’t have a government. The chief of any tribe was not there to control his people. He was revered as the chief because everyone could trust that he could help them live WITH the land, as opposed to ON the land. He didn’t make up laws for people to follow, anything that was provided for him was in exchange for his wisdom. Life goes on as the saying goes. If you believe the chief was anything like the president, tsar, or king of any nation, ask yourself this: “Do you live your life based on your president’s wisdom? Does your president teach you how to survive?” Again, I can give you an answer, but you must decide for yourself.

Now that I have secured my own happiness, my only sorrows come from others. Whether or not this government comes down in our lifetime, we should be allowed to be free like so many before us, and so many that will come after us. We are on the brink of WWIII. Do we want that? Do we want to send young men to die in an effort to uphold a system that everybody complains about anyway? Nobody loves the government…they love things that they think the government was responsible for…but the government is not responsible for those things…we as human beings are. We need to take back what is ours, and stop paying guys to make good speeches. Even National Security can exist, but only to protect this nation. When I say I am against this system, I am only against the government of man. I am not against the people of the United States. I love talking with people, hearing about their ideas, sharing a joke with the guy at the bar, sharing the joy of watching our local sports team win, marveling over the young children with all their innocence, laughter and fresh perspectives. If we could live this way, other nations would have no reason or recourse against us, because everybody in the world would want to live like this.  And those few men that were greedy would have no way of controlling us...power is given, not taken.  I just want us to be happy. Anybody that doesn’t want us to be happy, I am against.

Jay....Do you remember a little town called Salem? Well in 1692 They didn't exactly live in peace and produce what was necessary to survive, they started pointing fingers, people were wrongfully imprisoned, and 19 people were killed for absolutely NO reason at all other than the fact that the other colonists believed that they were "witches". It was all over territory, actually, and turned into mass hysteria and mass killings. The government was absolutely necessary, otherwise, people would have continued in their riduculous ranting and finger pointing, and god knows what may have happened. I am sorry but I have to disagree on the cross reference you are trying to use here. A bit of a reach.

in 1692 the colonists were ruled by the english government.  What was needed was understanding.  if you said that this happened in the time between revolution and the constitution, I would agree with you.  But under a government those people were easily led to believe that one person was better than another.  That is what the idea of property and price have brought to humanity...is that what you want?  For other humans to believe they are better than you?
