In the original Star Trek series there was an episode wherein a people on a distant planet had a sacred script, but they didn’t know how to read it properly nor did they understand it, until Captain Kirk put them straight. the sacred script was the Preamble to the Constitution.
That episode reminds me of the milieu we live in today.
We have city, state, and federal governments that expand far beyond the definition set forth in the Constitution.
The principles and rights written in the Declaration of Independence and the Bill of Rights are considered criminal today.Just revisit Ruby Ridge and Waco, or be hauled into court and learn firsthand. You have the right to be jailed, the right to be fined, the right to be presumed guilty, etc. You don’t have the right to disobey a traffic signal. You don’t have a right to bear arms in places where you really need them. The unalienable right to self defense? Not according to Supremist Sotomayor.
In the Star Trek episode Captain Kirk was able to turn those people to the truth quite handily. I don’t think it will be so easy
on this planet.
