Why An Ideal Society Would be Based on Consent.

"All things are subject to interpretation whichever interpretation prevails at a given time is a function of power and not truth" – Friedrich Nietzsche 

Truth and Justice is in the eye of the beholder. (click here for more) Trouble starts once that truth becomes a law and government forces it on those who see a different truth. This is why government can become the problem instead of the solution. Laws make you do things you think are false. Laws force Truths on people who don't believe. The ‘social contract’ is threatened by authoritarian governments. “Government that governs least governs best”. Yet, government has grown to regulate most aspects of our lives by force. Wasn’t America supposed to be about limited government? We are far from the republic Franklin and his fellow patriots gave us.

Freedom means you decide. Control means someone decides for you. ‘Regulation’ is just a different word for ‘Control' and the opposite of ‘freedom’. Freedom means you have power. Regulation means you lose it. Power corrupts! Government power is no exception. Politics is all about power - the power to control people. Rigging the system is abuse of power.

“Rights aren’t rights if someone can take them away. They’re privileges.”—George Carlin

Government makes laws. Laws create privileges for some and steal inalienable rights from others in the process. Laws steal choices. They prohibit and limit choices for some people and make you obey someone else’s choices. It’s like being told where to sit on the bus. Laws make you do things you would not want to do if you were free. Was it meant to be this way? What can be more valuable than choice? What do you have when you have no choice? 👉 Maybe we need less governing and fewer laws.
