Terrista shows us the camel’s nose under the tent by writing…
Okay, but here’s some consequences of declaring “independence”:
You’ll have to get your own electric power instead of using our transmission lines in the Commons.
You’ll need a Buck Rogers jet pack to get around so you don’t end up tresspassing on our roads in the Commons. Either that, you you need to pay a toll for every mile you drive.
If some jerks break into your house, don’t call 9-11. Maybe you can retain a private detective to get your stuff back. And pray you don’t have a fire.
And that is how the “controllers” justify their existance, how they justify an ever-increasing intrusion into productive citizens lives.
IF people want interstate highways, they will fund them.
IF people want a regulated monopololy for electric service they will fund it.
IF people want a 911 service they will pay for it.
But people should have the right to say NO to stuff if they don’t want it. And people should have the right to demand excellence from these services if they do allow them.
Sooooooo here in America, public education should be optional, and parents should control the purse-strings by being issued vouchers.
And here in America, if you are capable of generating your own electrical power, and an increasing number of folks are, then you are allowed to be disconnected from the grid – no taxes, no fees.
I am thankful that I live in a country where I’m allowed to make these decisions. And I will continue to oppose the “nanny staters” who would rob me of these liberties.
