Whether we like it or not the STATE *owns* the roadways, held in our *collective* interests. Our *collective* interests are properly served by ensuring those who *drive* upon our roadways are properly licensed and insured. Spoiled little snotheads not exempt. Should someone wish to disavow societal constraints and restraints, FINE. I DO NOT argue that they should not be allowed to do so. JUST STAY OFF THE ROADS WHILE DRIVING A MOTORIZED VEHICLE.
Would this guy call the police if there was a burglar in his house?

First of all, you have to release yourself from govenment control.. As soon as you vote, you consent to be governed. You're basically giving consent to the governemt to make decisions for you.. You become part of "That society" the "law society". Therefore you have to follow their rules. You here him say the cop was reading his affidavit of truth, that's a piece of paper stating that he is not part of that society and he choses not to be governed. You do that with a notary public.

Depends on the "why." I actually support the "chipping" of dementia patients such as advanced Alzheimers sufferers. Beats the heck out of strapping them to their beds 24 hours a day.
Additionally, if chipping were more accessible I would advocate the "chipping" of my granddaughter until she reached "age of consent" at which time she has every right to have it removed - or maintain it for her safety.
So, ultimately, yes I would should I happen to develop Alzheimers I would *hope* my husband would choose to "chip" me as opposed to restrain me in modern "benign" shackles.

Perhaps your time working within the system has numbed you into accepting the tyranny that is supports? Because it is tyranny. If you disagree, study the works of your founding fathers, the genius that created our country.
Stand up. Stand against tyranny. Live free or die.

Would you like me to list out the books I've read regarding that moment in history, the men involved, and the documents. I assure you the list is *quite* extensive.

It has to do with frames of reference, etc. Yours is groomed highly towards the corporate UNITED STATES OF AMERICA legal system. Were you to have a different "programming", perhaps you would have a different understanding.

I read that you have left the thread, but for the record for anyone else reading, I am not a failure. I have done quite well for myself.

Well, I had left the thread but when I saw your alias show up in my "MyATS" listing I wished to see what you had written since our paths had crossed previously.
But, that begs the question: You decided to address me assuming I would not read it and reply. Why? Just to "score a point" by insinuating that I was ignorant of the founding principles and history?

Ah, yes. You have read the works of the founding fathers and come away with the TRUE understanding that none of us mere mortal sheep could EVER understand! Clearly, your intellect is a shining beacon in this murky world! We should all bow to your intense philosophical and literary might!
Seriously, I'm getting suck of this disgusting, condescending argument by the Tea Party nutters. As someone who came to this country and had to go through the citizenship classes, it's abundantly clear that the Constitution was intentionally written in a manner that allows for different interpretations, hence the need for a Supreme Court made of many members (not just one) to interpret laws and the Constitution. To suggest any single interpretation is the ULTIMATE understanding and the SOLE intent of the founders is simply ignorant.
