Forming my own government
This has been posted in several threads, and though it's a pretty silly "rhetorical" question, I'm going to treat it as much more adult than it really is.
First, let me tell everyone that I've already formed my own government, and did so years ago. For many of you, that must mean that I've government offices, employees, taxes, and an army at my disposal; but the plain fact is that I have no need for any of those things, and never will. Where I live, we just about govern ourselves; truly the only time we see a government employee is when the USG delivers the mail (and if the USG hadn't gone to court and forced its' own monopoly, we'd not see them at all), and the occaisional sheriff's deputy cruising by every few months or so. Oh, yes, the county's forced monopoly on the road counts, I suppose, when it decides to repave every "X" many years. When an ice storm closed our road with fallen trees, we opened them up again ourselves, the county cleared up what debris was left about three months later, when they "got around to it". My government is already formed, and in full progress, or should I say, full process? Runs really smooth, too. |
Do you send yourself pension checks every month?

When you say "I formed my own government," who is the "we" in statements such as "When an ice storm closed our road with fallen trees, we opened them up again ourselves."
Does that mean "we" as in you and your family, or others, such as neighbors? If it is others, does that mean others have their own government as well? And if so, what are the relations between your government and others? Good? Bad? So-so? |
Reminds me of the Family Guy "Petoria" episode...

The government that you apparently love, needs them so desparately that it's considering making "flag burning" unlawful by Constitutional amendment. That's the problem, writ large, with government today. It's convinced many of you that you need it, everyday, and every hour. When the truth is, you don't need it at all. |
Then why do you keep cashing checks from our Government?

I wouldn't say that I "love" the government ... I think it is a necessary evil.
To protect me and my family from people like you :) |

I won't be answering any private financial questions, nor asking any, so don't bother. In the long and short of it, that's none of your or anyone else's business. I'm not surprised at the question, however, that's at least part of the reason so many like a state and/or federal income tax. So individuals have to tell everyone else what they money they make. That's why it's so hard to do away with, jealousy reigns in some area's of the country. |

I, too, am my own government. Lucky for you you're 3,000 miles away and don't have anything I want 'cause otherwise I'd declare war on your ass and take what I wanted

Listen, strange women lyin' in ponds distributin' swords is no basis for a system of government. Supreme executive power derives from a mandate from the masses, not from some farcical aquatic ceremony.
