re: #199 efuseakay

Is it any surprise to anyone that this is the kind of life modern day wingnuts pine for whenever they hoot and holler about “REMEMBER THE FOUNDERS!”?

In their minds, we are all still living on 40 acres we have carved out of the pristine wilderness, self-suficient, beholden to no one and not compelled to enter into any contract with anyone else unless it advances our self-interest.

We have no use for a central government except to help us keep those pesky natives at bay, the ones who insist that we have somehow stolen their land from them, really, it’s not like they were using it for any constructive purpose…
