Government also sterilized people against their will, intentionally poisoned tens of thousands of people, Dred Scott, etc. That the government previously did bad things before today does it legitimize them today, nor does it mean such deeds were any less wrong when originally performed.


He wasn't making that argument, and I think you knew that.

Can the liberties of a nation be thought secure when we have removed their only firm basis, a conviction in the minds of the people that these liberties are the gift of God?

Could any of these happen again? Sure. We recently watched are currently watching Hillary Clinton get away with multiple felonies when other people are routinely convicted of the same crimes.

If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or your arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen.

At least the Greater Seattle Forsaken Zone will have excellent coffee, beer and video games as produced by the residents.

I have an acre and a half.  I will auction off 3 sq ft spots.  Comes with a view.  High ground too.  First come first served. [popcorn]

Interesting idea.  I thought of that as a fund-raising idea for a charitable organization many years ago.  Tech/legal prolems got in the way, though, e.g. a subdivision developer's license was required in this state, real estate taxes, etc.  (I was thinking of one square foot parcels, complete with mailable addresses and little one inch easements for "streets," and other wild-assed extensions of the idea.)

It recently popped into mind again as a method of establishing residency in "free states," but I squashed the idea since I didn't want to get squashed myself by the full weight of the law.

Not that I could immediately see any tech/legal reasons against it offhand, but I figured, with all the crazy laws and contrived legal decisions in our current whacky legal system, there must be something either legally or regulatory they could come down on you with.  Sorta like the Kelo decision... who'd have thunk it?

So I parked that idea in my mental bottom drawer until you brought it out again.

I'm not signing this one so nobody will know who posted it

It's possible. A number of RV living snowbirds I've met here in AZ have legal addresses in S. Dakota. Their vehicles are registered in S.D. and there are services that forward mail anywhere  it's requested.

^ Huh.  I didn't know that.

Is that just a private mailbox service or is there actual real estate involved?
