I’ve often said that for all of the time saving technology has supposedly created for us, we seem to have a lot less time. My grandparents had a few changes of clothes, heated with coal, were fortunate to have running water and sewerage, a few DC lamps in their home and few other luxuries. Notwithstanding grandpa working 12 hour days 6 days a week, they bore 10 children and lived on his single income. Grandma prepared every meal from scratch and washed clothes by hand. All of the children became part of the household work share as soon as they could perform ANY task.
The difference: they had very few distractions. Remove the distractions from your life and taking care of yourself and your family become entertaining and fulfilling.
We can wind the clock back, it’s just going to take a little time. The time we get back will be worth it.
Christopher, I have begun reading your book. It is going to take a while. You have obviously put in a lot of work.
One question I have is this: I can see you laying out an ontology for what your thinking is. But will there be an teleology? E.g., if there is a God, or a supernatural lawgiver, does a human construct of behavior (natural rights) still have meaning? If there isn't a God or supernatural lawgiver, do the natural rights cover ALL situations?
Or: are we but specks on a tiny planet swirling around in an unimaginably large universe where the ideas of government, taxation, coercion, et. al., are beside the point.
If we construct God in our own image, could we also construct natural rights in our own best interest?
I ask these questions seriously, trying to avoid the rabbit hole that we (humans) are the center of the universe, and that our thought process encompasses 13 billion years and things beyond our wildest imaginings.
First of all - YUMM! Reminds me of a staple when our kids were young we called "Cheesy Potato Mess."
Secondly, all those who hearken back to the 'founding fathers' and a return to the principals of them and the constitution -- it was never great.
There was a seed, but it was mostly putting lipstick on a pig as we colonized and appropriated land and resources from the native americans while we simultaneously genocided them (there's that word again).
This is why it's so important to look forward, not back. A ground-up approach to rethinking and re-instituting our rights and freedoms.
If an institution has to grant you rights, they were never rights to begin with.
I remember several years ago when the Susan G Komen cancer organization attempted to trademark the color “pink” to represent them. I’m not sure how that was settled. I wasn’t paying attention. The garbage food was a reminder.
I love Cincinnati chili so I think I would try that mess! Lol! 🥘
I've worked in The River Restaurant at The Savoy Hotel. I have been taught high standards. I can Maitre D with the best of them. I am the Quintessential Concierge. I Am A Business Man's Butler and an Executive Chef. I trained in the same kitchens as Jamie Oliver at Battersea Park Hotel School. My aspirations fluttered after seeing the demolition of my spiritual homeland. My Kamusha, My Zimbabwe. 🇿🇼🙏
Stop paying taxes. Problem with this one is, it only works if a critical mass of us do it together. Although, there is such a thing as 'non-filers', and they legally do not pay. More on this here -
Claim more dependents on your W2, dial it in such that you're not giving the gubment a year long interest free loan, aka your 'return'. Ideally, you just owe some small amount each year.
Pull ALL money from large banks. By doing so, we hurt them ten fold! They can only lend 10X what they have (legally anyway, they've been busted lending more). Find a local credit union that loans most of it's money to local businesses. You'll get better interest rates and help your local economy. It's a no-brainer win-win-win move! Kick them where it hurts! Do it now!
For me I speak/write what I see is Truth regardless of the consequences as it surely seems if we don't now soon we will be unable to even do this.
I don't support and openly call out THEIR BS such as: The Bioweapon Jab, Neocon Wars, Zionist Genocide and Ethnic Cleansing, Open Borders (no country survives with open borders), Chemtrails, 911, False Flags, False elections, political theatre, GMO's, Pharmaceutical/Military Industrial Complex, etc.
Quest for Truth. Its obviously not enough but is all I can do now.

It’s all legal plunder. That is pretty much why governments form.
Unfortunately you are so right Christopher.

I shoot from the hip. Get used to it. Seriously good writing. Writing that I recommend 🙏💜🙏

Talk about sharks…using law to trademark the word “garbage” is the best use of legal plunder.
The title caught my eye. I was born & raised in Rochester. Gotta love the garbage plate!
You're hilarious.
There's a serious amount of green missing from that garbage plate...or any colour for that matter. I bet it's delicious all the same!
WATCH OUT FOR SHARKS!!!

Regarding legal plunder - I have some solutions.
