People don't want responsibility. They want to do what they want, then take none of the responsibility. They want other people to pay for bad choices. And will take their money if the system allows them to. It's pretty simple but because these people are irresponsible, they keep voting for people who promise to extort as much funds as possible from other people and give to them. This is why you can't have responsibility when there is a mechanism that monopolizes and encourages the use of force (the state) to violently expropriate funds (taxation) from responsible individuals, to fund the irresponsible lifestyles of other individuals.

God damn it THERE ARE NO CITIZENS YOU BRAINWASHED FUCKS! The gov't proudly claims that it has no duty to protect. http://www.nytimes.com/2005/06/28/politics/28scotus.htmlThat is the obligation of the sovereign. The US disclaims it expressly. You have no recourse for the governments flat out refusal to protect you. There is no state , there are no citizens. It's a relic from feudal times reinstated in a new and devious form to enslave us. 1. (a) Ligeance is a true and faithful obedience of the subject due to his Sovereign. - This ligeance and obedience is an incident inseparable to every subject: for as soon as he is born he oweth by birth-right ligeance and obedience to his Sovereign. Ligeantia est vinculum fidei; and ligeantia est quasi legis essentia. Ligeaalia est ligarnentum, quasi ligatio mentium: quia sicut ligamentum est connexio articulorum et juncturarum, &c. As the ligatures or strings do knit together the joints of all the parts of the body, so doth ligeance join together the Sovereign and all his subjects, quasi uno ligamine. Glanville, who wrote in the reign of H. 2. lib. 9. cap. 4. speaking of the connexion which ought to be between the lord and tenant that holdeth by hone saith, that mutua debet esse domini et fide litatis connexion ita quod quantum debet omino ex homagio, tantum illi debet dominus ex dominio, pręter solam reverentiam, and the lord, (saith he) ought to defend his tenant. But between the Sovereign and the subject there is without comparison a higher and greater connexion: for as the subject oweth to the King his true and faithful ligeance and obedience, so the Sovereign is to govern and protect his subjects, [7-Coke-5 a] regere et firotegere subditos: so as between the Sovereign and subject there is duplex et reciprocum ligamen; quia sicut subditus regi tenetur ad obedientiam, ita rex subdito tenetur ad protectionem: merito igitur ligeantia dicitur a ligando, quia continet in se duplex ligamen. And therefore it is holden in 20 H. 7. 8. a. that there is a liege or ligeance between the King and the subject. And Fortescue, cap. 13. Rex (b) ad tutelam legis corporum et bonorum subditorum erectus est. And in the Acts of Parliament of IO R. 2. cap. 5. and 11 R. 2. cap. 1. 14 H. 8. cap. 2. &c. subjects are called liege people; and in the Acts of Parliament in 34 H. 8. cap. 1. and 35 H. 8. cap. 3. &c. the King is called the liege lord of his subjects. And with this agreeth M. Skeene in his book De Expositione Verborum, (which book was cited by one of the Judges which argued against the plaintiff) ligeance is the mutual bond and obligation between the King and his subjects, whereby subjects are called his liege subjects, because they are bound to obey and serve him; and he is called their liege lord, because he should maintain and defend them. Agree 100% |

How are you going to deal with citizenship/borders? I'm sure that plenty of the cities will take a stance against "illegal immigration". If all of the cities have different regulations for consumer goods that will make trade very problematic.
Citizenship will be done more as memberships, which can be renewed, cancelled or changed. The best thing about this is the ability to choose which 'country' to live in. Right now people are born and forced into a certain citizenship. They didn't choose this. Introducing choice in citizenship will be a great way to expand individual freedom. Border agreements can allow areas as large as the United States or the whole of Europe to be border free. Suppose there are 2 adjacent countries. The people of both countries would like to be able to travel to the other country freely, so they allow membership cards of the other country to enter freely into their country. They could do this by entirely removing the border between them, much in the same way you can drive from France to Italy today. Yet each country remains responsible for security within its jurisdiction. As for consumer goods, non-governmental agencies can provide testing and industry standards for products that consumers themselves won't eat unless they are 'ISO 9001', pasteurized, organic, or even non-pasteurized. |

There is Zero reason the Federal Government should be involved in running Schools or Education. Especially due to how much they've F'cked the whole thing up. The education level has taken a nose dive in the US since Federal takeover. States are more than capable of handling it, just as they did in the past.
baloney. the US became the most powerful nation on earth because - right after our revolution - federally mandated universal education made us the best educated nation on earth. that lasted until somewhere around WWII. since then the corporatocracy has been incrementally whittling away at our educational infrastructure. and it shows. take, for example, your grasp of history... <sigh> The US wasn't the most powerful nation on Earth until after WWII. The federal government had zero roll in education until the founding of the Department of Education in the 1970's. Compulsory education of children didn't exist in the US anywhere until New York State started requiring the education of children in the 1870's, and compulsory education wasn't an nationwide requirement until 1913. Even then, it was only compulsory until 8th grade until after WWII. This is too beautiful. |

Just look at all the former soviet bloc nations that turned capitalist
West Germany vs. East Germany
United States vs. Soviet Union
Hong Kong vs. China
Modern China vs. Older China
Japan vs. China
South Korea vs. South Korea
Romania now vs. Romania during Ceaușescu
These are just the basic examples, there are plenty more. It seems to be the rule too.

Freedom of association is a legitimate freedom that inevitably restricts the liberty of others, usually based upon the
sacred cow delineations of race, gender and orientation.

Imagine I have a fatal, but treatable, illness. The treatment costs more than I could personally afford. Due to my financial situation I can't afford any health insurance. In which, if any, of the following cases do I deserve to die: - 1) I was a hard working citizen but due to no fault of my own I lost my job and am currently looking for work but unable to find any.
- 2) I am a child born into a poor family.
- 3) I have never worked due to laziness.
- 4) I did have a job but got fired for a valid reason. Due to my employment history, I am unable to find another job.
- 5) I committed a criminal offence and was sent to prison. I am now out of prison and can't find work due to my criminal record.
Deserve to die? None. I think you mean, which of the above justifies coercing others to help you and again the answer is "none". This thread started as an appeal to emotion. Then the premise was entirely destroyed by this reply. |

Holy grail moment? It's a classic self correcting mechanism.
Examples include:
O²:CO² atmospheric balance
The thermostat in your air conditioning unit
Toilet tank refill mechanism
There are practically thousands of examples out there

I tried make it sound as stupid as possible, so it would be obvious.
The sad thing is, as hard as I tried to be too stupid, it wasn't enough because this is what the average person actual thought process looks like.
Yeah, I haven't been here that long, but this seems about par for some folks here. I'd recommend either using the <sarcasm></sarcasm> tags or just try posting intelligent stuff, there's enough stoopid in the world No. I want to bait these idiots and show them how silly and simplistic their world view is. |

Except for one minor problem. Energy is not free and unlimited for us with our current technologies. If we had limitless power, sure, absolutely. Time of scarcity is over.
Until then, you are simply wrong.
This is stupid. We never run out of resources in a free market system. Why? The price system prevents that. What happens is when supply gets low, prices start to go up, and people use less of it. What happens when oil supply becomes low? Alternative energy sources start to become viable. |

I will be unleashing an aggressive campaign against statism to enlighten your ilk about what you are ignorant about. Best beware, your beliefs will be smashed.
This is just a heads up.
