The history of our world is the history of empires and governments, always Rulers, always using Force without the consent of it's subjects. All have failed. The key is that awful word GOVERNment, which means most people cede their minds and their natural rights to a few others, who use the Force of armies and taxation and confiscation to enForce their will upon their slaves, yes slaves. The USA is heading rapidly now into the abyss of economic and moral collapse, and it won't be much longer before our Constitutional government will be nothing but a curious part of history. That makes this thread most relevant, because this nation and this entire world must deal with all this fairly soon.
Humanity is supposedly the only animal with a brain capable of conceptualization and Reason. Despite that, most of humankind must feel incompetent and insecure, and is thus quite willing to hand the reins over to some Ruler, who is always more interested in force and control and power than in the good of humanity and the world we live in. I am astounded that so few people grasp the meaning of true Liberty and self-actualization. So that is the problem which we need to deal with honestly and objectively, unless we are satisfied with the status quo and passing this mess on to our heirs.
So my own work is already posted and continuing on morality101.net, which keys on the philosophy while is pretty well stated in our Declaration of Independence "Live, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness". Three pages on that website, called "Morality", "Force" and "Sacrifice" spell out the foundation upon which anyone can stand to easily evaluate the schemes of the Rulers.
Then I have more recently begun another website no-ruler.net on which we are striving to reach either Voluntary GOVERNment or Anarchy. We do NOT care to continue use of GOVERN as part of that concept. In that vein, please recognize that the word Anarchy comes from ancient Greece and means simply No-Ruler. Other definitions (e.g. chaos) were added sometime long afterward by someone obviously opposed to anarchy, and are incorrect and misleading. You can surmise for yourself the who's and why's of that!
For now, my main point is that Force is immoral, and illegal virtually everywhere within the private sector, yet far too few people dare to envision that Force is equally unacceptable in their Government and their Rulers. I find that amazing indeed... shades of 1984! Anyway, the efforts of the past have always failed, because they have failed humanity.
I won't have much time for returning to this [the original] thread, so those who might see some inking of truth and have some desire to participate in our efforts, might join me on my websites, where we are far ahead of most thinking, and striving for something much better."
