But with happiness comes responsiblity i.e. "Do right by Free Planet," is the only rule, I can see, that's worth ENFORCING. And by enforcing I mean, "Industry has failed, it's our responsiblity to NEVER AGAIN let profit be more important than planet." :) I'm in. |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1451219 get a job, loser If we were genuinely truly free to wander and forage with no living expenses at all, I doubt we'd need the internet or any other modern day distraction that was designed to keep the slaves entertained during their confinement (life). |
Anonymous Coward User ID: 1414263 United States 08/31/2011 02:31 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | "why do we have to pay to live on a planet that we are born on?" simply because other people have claimed ownership of the planet. as Lysander Spooner wrote all the way back in 1888: "The government denies the natural right of human beings' to live on this planet. This it does by denying their natural right to those things that are indispensable to the maintenance of life. It says that, for every thing necessary to the maintenance of life, they must have a special permit from the government; and that the government cannot be required to grant them any other means of living than it chooses to grant them. "All this is shown as follows, viz.; "The government denies the natural right of individuals to take possession of wilderness land, and hold and cultivate it for their own subsistence. "It asserts that wilderness land is the property of the government; and that individuals have no right to take possession of, or cultivate, it, unless by special grant of the government. And if an individual attempts to exercise this natural right, the government punishes him as a trespasser and a criminal. "The government has no more right to claim the ownership of wilderness lands; than it has to claim the ownership of the sunshine, the water, or the atmosphere. And it has no more right to punish a man for taking possession of wilderness land, and cultivating it, without the consent of the government, than it has to punish him for breathing the air, drinking the water, or enjoying the sunshine, without a special grant from the government. "In thus asserting the government's right of property in wilderness land, and in denying men's right to take possession of and cultivate it, except on first obtaining a grant from the government, --- which grant the government may withhold if it pleases, --- the government plainly denies the natural right of men to live on this planet, by denying their natural right to the means that are indispensable to their procuring the food that is necessary for supporting life. "In asserting its right of arbitrary dominion over that natural wealth that is indispensable to the support of human life, it asserts its right to withhold that wealth from those whose lives are dependent upon it. In this way it denies the natural right of human beings to live on the planet. It asserts that government owns the planet, and that men have no right to live on it, except by first getting a permit from the government. "This denial of mens' natural right to take possession of and cultivate wilderness land is not altered at all by the fact that the government consents to sell as much land as it thinks it expedient or profitable to sell; nor by the fact that, in certain cases, it gives outright certain lands to certain persons. Notwithstanding these sales and gifts, the fact remains that the government claims the original ownership of the lands; and thus denies the natural right of individuals to take possession of and cultivate them. In denying this natural right of individuals, it denies their natural right to live on the earth; and asserts that they have no other right to life than the government, by its own mere will, pleasure, and discretion, may see fit to grant them. "In thus denying man's natural right to life, it of course denies every other natural right of human beings; and asserts that they have no natural right to anything; but that, for all other things, as well as for life itself, they must depend wholly upon the good pleasure and discretion of the government." Why has the govt done this? Because it is what the ruling class desires. |

Basically, only TOTAL GOVERNMENT TRANSPARENCY by and for the people and an end to CORPORATE ESPIONAGE and financial machinations in the name of profit, will bring this free(d) planet to fruition. It's sorta obvious we have to REBOOT. |

The only reason I pay my taxes and obey the law is because they enforce the 'Might is Right' rule and I will be punished if I disobey! They tell me I was born a free man but to me it looks more and more like I was born a slave. Quoting: Ozicell We are slaves and anyone who supports this system enjoys being a slave for material garbage. Peace to you Amy |

Logically speaking where would you be if you gave away all your resources to someone who sat on their backside as survival is hardwired into all of us and you found your niche and you thrived. It is when government grows too large that we run into problems as they devour resources and give little in return hence our current dilemma. |

You think there needs to be a big complicated monetary system where every aspect of life needs to be sold and bought. You're wrong. I do not oppose the gov taxing barter transactions. This is fair and understandable. The whole point of paying taxes is not about punishing those who use money as a medium of transaction. It's about contributing to building and maintaining a society. And you are right. When enough people do it, THEY would find a way! Here it goes again. A society is being set up. Now what? To protect yourself from being eaten by animals in there, you guys decide that few strongest guys should be elected as guards to fight wild animals. Thus these guys need your support to survive. So others farm and give these guys food! And they be the guards! Now you're paying tax AGAIN! |
