I always thought it was so strange that such a great multitude of seemingly rational people think that a few "magic" words like taxes, government, democracy have the amazing ability to turn an immoral or unethical act into something that is okay, or even commendable. Most of these would laugh at anyone who still believed in Santa Claus, or the Easter Bunny and think of themselves as sane intelligent people.
This concept is rapidly becoming my top-level justification for opposition to involuntary governance. Where did these special rights for government agents come from? How come they have them and we don't? What magic alchemy turns what is immoral for us to do into something moral for them to do?
I always find it interesting how our past and our history follows us. It could be something that we did when we were younger or it can come from generations before. Trauma can be passed down from previous generations. Whole groups of people can continue to look backwards to past traumas or persecutions that have long since been gone. It can hold us back from being what we were meant to rise too.
In Jesus’s day there was a man named Saul. He was the biggest enemy of the church. He hated believers, he even had some killed. He constantly threatened them saying he was going to throw them in prison. In one moment God changed his life. He went from Saul to the apostle Paul. Now Im in no way condoning murder or imprisoning people based on religion, but imagine if Paul lived in his past. What if he said I can’t write books promoting Christ. If Paul had become imprisoned by his past 1/2 of the New Testament would never have been written. What will we miss out on if we let the past stop the gifts that could be given by people with new ideas?
When we look at our present day system of government are we seeing these big sweeping changes that are needed, or are we seeing more of the same. I question so many critical issues that are never brought up by this current administration, like the continuation of injecting babies with this DNA altering experimental “inoculations”. Or how about the fact that not one criminal politician that robbed the taxpayer has been prosecuted, but yet common protesters spent 4 or 5 years in the government gulag. No one has been held accountable.
We don’t have to let the past dictate our future. There comes a time where we have to leave the past behind. At this point in my life I need hope to spring eternal. Nothing in our past, has to stop our future. Nothing we have said, nothing anyone has done should stop us from reaching our highest potential. No mistakes we’ve made are too big for Gods mercy. There comes a time where change is imperative. J.Goodrich
An hour or so after I get a Substack email I am blocked from posting. I tried to fix it with Substack over the weekend and every move is frozen. I'll do my best to read and comment within the 1 hour whenever possible.
Imagine it...dinosaurs survived and thrived for about 175 million years with no health care, no police and no government. Am I saying dinosaurs are smarter than mankind? Do you think mankind can survive another 174,500,000 years?
Love ❤️ that Chris !! It is a great departure from what people used to say that your time is fleeting , life is but a vapor etc. we should stop promoting the cycle of death but instead the cycle of long life !!
Mankind survived and thrived for about 10 million years without government, taxes, insurance, healthcare, etc until criminal humans invented and imposed governments on the innocent. We did it by living under the universal natural law that applies to all humans and we will bring it back. The innocent have always lived in accordance with it but criminals did not. Individual criminals lived under the natural law knowing that if they aggressed against innocent victims, their victims or their victims' agents of defense could and would retaliate. It wasn't until governments were invented and imposed that wars and organized crime arose.

Woodrow Wilson is serving time in Hell for extending feudalism longer than it needed to be.
FairTax forever, draconian IRS never

Well said, James.
We really should try to look forward, not back. It can be hard, but we must try harder!
What is that saying when you keep doing the same thing over and over again an expect a different result?
Yup.
when i first started a family, I decided that I would not own any firearms.
I'm really having second thoughts about that now.
Easy enough to keep them in a safe…
of course, but we had other considerations at that time that I am not saying here.
Who do you charge with protecting you and yours? I’m curious.
We live in a very rural community and my neighbors could outfit a small militia.
No fear of break-ins, and I can be armed in about 5 minutes if I need to be.
I'm not your enemy.
No, no! You're doing it right.
It's important to set an example for your family of defenselessness and passivity.
We're talking 40 years ago, probably older than you. Don't be an ass.
That was a different time, and I was anything but defenseless and passive.
Very Kool and True Christopher! Thank you.

Are you on the app or in a browser?
Browser.
I use a flip phone for various reasons.
Did support give you any useful info?
It would not let me. Frozen.
Oh. I would definitely try talking with them while you are connected.
Won't let me.
Imagine it...dinosaurs survived and thrived for about 175 million years with no health care, no police and no government. Am I saying dinosaurs are smarter than mankind? Do you think mankind can survive another 174,500,000 years?
I personally plan to live for 174,500,000 years.
Love ❤️ that Chris !! It is a great departure from what people used to say that your time is fleeting , life is but a vapor etc. we should stop promoting the cycle of death but instead the cycle of long life !!
Right on!
I am sure they have drugs to help you along.
🤣
