[quote:Anonymous Coward 1408574:MV8xNTEzMDE3XzI0OTQ3MTU2XzQ4QzQ4RDFG] [quote:Anonymous Coward 1379934] The real fear the government pushes upon the people is false imprisonment. Seriously. Citizens are scared that the government will grab any infraction they can to embellish it into a goddamned federal felonious crime! Thereby taking all your rights away permanently. The part the people don't ever think about is the simple fact that the Law enforcement, the prosecutor, and the judge are all government employees! Isn't that a conflict of interest against the citizens? Look up the "Rules of Criminal Prosecution" and recognize that "Presentments" have been deemed "Obsolete". Eyes that see and ears that hear my friends. [/quote] So once again it all comes down to having privileges granted by the lords and ladies and not liberty? [/quote]
Original Message
When and at what point, and who gave the state or federal government authority over a given population?
Why must one recognize the authority of the state, and where is that authority derived?
Is the control mechanism not a voluntary one? I mean other than when it comes right down to force and bullying. Why would anyone in their right minds concede their own god given sovereign rights to the city, county, state, or federal government?
