We know that things have to change, that is only common sense, as time changes paradigms change, as paradigms change, systems have to adapt, this also is a given. So where do we start, for me, the best place is at the beginning. We have within our grasp a set of tools that are not matched anywhere on earth, for some, that causes problems in that while these tools remain close at hand, they cannot accomplish their wants; which is why these tools were placed where they are.
You might be asking what are these tools, are you ready for this, they are The Declaration of Independence and the Constitution of the United States of America. You might scoff at this, but, before you do, do yourself a favor and read the both, very carefully. In actuality, there are four things you absolutely need to read, they are The Federalist Papers, The Anti Federalist Papers, The Declaration and the Constitution, all are available online. The first two are in regard to the Declaration prior to it's being written one for (The Federalist Papers) and one against (The Anti Federalist Papers.) These reads are of particular interest because therein are arguments for the creation of a Federal Government and arguments against this formation, You again might ask why I suggest these reads the answer is simple. The arguments both pro and con used then are germane to what we see happening today in Washington. These two reads might take a bit, but, both are well worth the time in that understanding the basics of what went into the creation of our two Prime Documents is exceedingly important for us today as it can solidify the foundation we stand on.
Our Declaration starts out with:
"When in the course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them to another"
And our Constitution starts with:
"We the people of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice,insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America."
You ask why I put these statements here, they both describe the primary tool we have to ensure that the AUTHORITY for both documents remains in the hands of the people of the United States, never, ever, ever forget that!
Though there are those who will insist that the authority to effect change rests wholly in the realm of the folks in D.C. yet it is those who intend to alter our system with "Fundamental Change" but it seems to me that their change is more dependency on the government and less dependence on our abilities.
Soooo, here is a rather pregnant question for y'all. If the first people of the United States left their homeland because of oppression by their respective governments; economically, religiously, and socially, then what is the purpose of surrendering our rights and liberties to the government now and recreating exactly what of fore bearers left their homes for?
