It's not just sovereigns, no can change someone else's beliefs, including the dont question the government crowd.

I see these people as being on a path to becoming unwitting sycophants of a kind of "Sword in the Stone" homily; the rescue proponents take advantage of them by somehow manufacturing a vision of having been the one to pull the sword that compels the judiciary to rescue the victim masses from the domination of financial tyranny.

Unfortunately, despite any number of heinous criminal acts, there is no sword to be drawn from a stone, but it makes a compelling story for people under duress where no other viable solutions are readily at hand.

I'm not certain which group you are talking about. Plenty of us here on Quatloos "question the government", and do so on a regular basis; but we base our questions on the law and legal precedent, not on wackadooster fantasies.

Its what you question and how. On another thread several of the more straight laced lawyers are discussing the validity of a warrant that allowed police to walk into the local sovereign meeting, and start taking cell phones, computers and requiring everyone to show ID...even though the people in question were attending a meeting you most assuredly think we would mock (ok, I would, but I can only speak for myself). You see, its perfectly rational for one with a lot of legal training to question the validity of such a sweeping warrant, but quite another to question the validity of the Court and the Judge who issued it.

My choice early in life was to either be a piano player in a whorehouse or a politican. And to tell the truth there's hardly any difference.

I started to delete the PD gibberish, until I saw all the answers he received.

Either we're enforcing rules or we aren't. The last dozen posts on this thread are wildly off-topic. Since he can no longer start threads, PD is going to do his best to derail ongoing ones. I will be glad to see to it that this doesn't happen, BUT I CAN'T WHEN OTHERS ANSWER HIM.

Unless I delete their posts too. Should I?
