    Factually incorrect. There is no legal basis recognized that holds rights are either granted, or contingent upon popular opinion.

    Where do you think laws come from? The divine will? The fabric of the universe? Laws only exist so far as people regard them as legitimate.

    While superseding the opinions of those who regard them as being illegitimate at trial. One does not have the authority, legal or otherwise, to simply opt out of complying with laws as written. If a nation says to stay out, you stay out or you are punished for noncompliance.

    Exactly. There is no true law, only power. I want power to be exercised differently than it is now. Present law is irrelevant to that desire.

    Such a desire will not come to fruition, therefore it is baseless, meaningless, and ultimately irrelevant.

    Why not? There's a growing push. Keep feeding the hype machine and there's no telling what could happen.

    And just as there is a push, there is a push back, especially when it comes to matters of illegal immigration.

    Without states or nations you get tribalism, a state of being much more violent although on a smaller scale than a nation.
