    Ahh... then the same principal must apply to people. To surrender one's sovereignty is to be a slave. This is the principal behind the social contract.

    No, you can quit if you like. I make more money being retired than on welfare.

    I'm not whining, I'm warning. When the wealthy treat the poor like they are doing in the US for very long the poor eventually get tired of it and the outcome is not pretty. You may say "bring it" but the wealthy are outnumbered by thousands to one, and the "lower orders" have guns too

    Who can possibly argue with Schoolhouse Rock? Unless, of course, you have a ruling from Big Bird

    they provide guidance on the meaning of the powers delegated.

    there is absolutely no reason to take right wing, implied fantasy, seriously.

    I started it, I read his book and was curious what people thought. It has gotten a lot farther and gone places I did not expect.

    I could not disagree more with your opinion on this. That same logic can be applied to the EU and I guarantee France would disagree with that statement since it gave up some of its sovereignty in order to enter in the agreement with all those other countries.

    I just wonder if Yang or his parents are Chi-Com sleeper cells ?

    The Cox Report says that 10% of the Chinese immigrants in America are likely sleeper cells.

    Only the more unitary minded right wing doesn't understand our federal form of government.

    The several States have a general government.

    Seems a bit tin foil hat too me. Should we believe the children of all immigrants are spies? I am just not prepared to believe that.

    Sleeper cells are nothing new.

    The USSR had them, Imperial Japan had them. ISIS called for them.
    Taco trucks in Los Angeles seem to be strategically located throughout L.A. County for some reason.


    “The Islamic State group, also known as ISIS, has been calling on supporters around the world to set up sleeper cells since at least August 2014, after a US-led airstrike campaign began bombing militant targets.”
    Michael Kaplan, “What Is An ISIS Sleeper Cell? After Paris Attack, Concerns Mount That Islamic State Operatives Could Export Terror,” International Business Times (November 16, 2015)

    What may have ‘looked like a standard kids show’ on the surface in fact provided ‘this early Cold War representations of Russians [who] had infiltrated’ quiet corners of the United States. Rocky and Bullwinkle was set in Frostbite Falls, Minnesota. ‘Boris and Natasha were, to some extent, the first sleeper cell.”

    Why Right / Left are not accurate.

    I remember when Cenk Uiger(?) was shocked to learn "Homefront"
    liked his show.
    They are attracted to Libertarians outside the left / right dichotomy.

    please not some heavy baggage, diversity sake, loser

    I have sensed that mine is a minority opinion, particularly among conservatives but i hold to it. The States of the Union were never real separate entities, they never had different and distinct cultures and they never went to war with each other but once, and that was actually a clash of ideologies. In any case the ACW settled all that over a century ago. Nowadays, the States are provinces, states in name only

    Which "bot" article are you talking about? The Wikipedia link that you sent me didn't link to a specific article. You do realise that right?

    What the hell do you mean, "or eventually the entirety of it?"

    Can you rephrase?

    Exactly what it says, Government can take all of your money and then kill you. They have before at several times and places and they will again at others, maybe here if we aren't careful. We are spoiled in this country in not having any major internal upheavals save one, and that was a Civil War against an ideology that was forced on us by our history.

    Warp and Weft is from weaving. It refers to the actual purpose and accomplishment of something. What I was trying to say is that government takes from you what it can and there is really very little you can do about it.

    Well, that played a role in our own revolution, right? These days, with national security states, they could crush it, nip it in the bud, before it ever could get organized. We have the most powerful national security state, or at least are at the top. And we only know of some of its capability, thanks to great evil men like assange. Can't depend upon the legacy media anymore for they are, for whatever reason, a part of this State.

    Of course we all know our own ruling elite are good people and they would never use the abilities of our national security state against good americans. But the definition of a good american can change. For me, just knowing something of the history of humanity, things can go south in a hurry, given enough fear, and it being stoked.

    I won't be around for any of this future possibility, and that is the only good thing about being old and close to the dirt nap. But we have to place faith in humanity, for what else is there to place faith in, unless you are a religious person, believing that some god will see us through, and protect a chosen few?
