“I’m part of a very great experiment in self-government where we the people determine our own pursuit of happiness and our own individual freedom and liberty “

No, Ted, you are part of a bigger experiment that has been going on for over 200 years and has involved hundreds of millions of people.

It involves collective decision-making in the form of elections, which, although sometimes flawed, have been generally free and fair.

It involves a system based on separation of powers, which, although also flawed, has so far been able to maintain a functioning and even prospering democracy for over 200 years.

It involves a syetem by which voters freely and fairly elect representatives and an executive whose job it is to provide for the common good, levy taxes to maintain the fucntioning of the government, and to nominate and confirm members of a Supreme Court to decide on whether the laws passed by elected officials and confirmed by the executive are legal and constitutional.

You are living in a fairytale world of Sovereign Citizens who believe they have the right to decide for themselves which laws to obey and which to ignore.

THAT IS NOT AMERICA
