Welcome to my corner of the internet! Today, we are going to explore the beginning of The United States of America. Did you know that America used to not exist as an independent country, in the early days this country was a territory/colony of England. But the Colonists were not viewed as equals, the king of England thought that he was better than us. The king thought that because he was part of the government he was able to do whatever he wanted to do, so in 1776 a group of Colonists got together and told the government of England that it was time to part way because the government that England had created was not built correctly.
Government has a job (That, to secure these rights, governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed.) And when any government A. fails to help secure the rights of individuals: and/or B. acts in a manner that denies a decent lively hood - then the Declaration of Independence says "That, whenever any form of government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the right of the people to alter or to abolish it..."
In case your not picking up what I am throwing down, let me be clear...the government is currently shutting down and destroying the businesses that some people have worked their entire lives to build. I do not view the draconian rules that the government has opposed on our businesses to be a solitary or isolated event! Rather, I view the abuses to be a part of a series of mismanagement.
(Prudence, indeed, will dictate that governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes....But, when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same object, evinces a design to reduce them under absolute despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such government, and to provide new guards for their future security. Such has been the patient sufferance of these colonies...)
For a number of years I have wondered when the government was going to push the wrong buttons in the minds of the right men?
I am just a traveler that is passing through this land, and the abuse is not coming from my monkeys and it is definitely not my circus. I am just passing through this world and reporting on what I see, and at some point in the future I see a bad moon.
