“Government, in my humble opinion, should be formed to secure and to enlarge the exercise of the natural rights of its members; and every government, which has not this in view, as its principal object, is not a government of the legitimate kind.”

WOW ! ! ! - ABSOLUTELY ! ! ! - We Hold This Truth to be Self Evident. The occupying statist theocracy infesting this land, with its compelled compliance, license, victimless crimes, larceny with impunity, usurpations, tyrannical violence / perpetual war, theocratic dogmas and canons, corrupt courts, executions antithetical to the laws of nature and of nature's God, anti-just legislation and otherwise despotic enforcements and criminal activities is not a government of the legitimate kind ! ! ! That I could rate this with innumerable stars an infinite number of times. YES ! ! !

Editor, thank you for all you have done over the years and for great quotes such as this !

Love that Declaration of Independence ! " God's understanding is Infinite ". The stars in the heavens, perform a Perfect job, at Natural Law, conveying to the natural agent, his/their intended purpose. Through every fiber of our existence ! 22 liberties and counting.

Mike, thank YOU for your contributions to this site over the years. I hope to one day compile a few pages of 'the best of' comments posted over the years - yours would certainly be among the top. Thanks not just for your words, but your actions as the 'noble sovereign' that you are. Cheers!

Spot on. The enlightenment period produced the best scholars.
