There has been a lot of talk of who owns what on the
net. I would like to know if we hear in America, who think
we are freemen(and women), are really free? Do we own any-
thing at all? It says in the Constitution of the United
States Article V of the Bill of Rights;"...nor be deprived
of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law;
nor shall private property be taken for public use, without
just compensation." Who owns the private property that is
not to be taken away? If you look at the title for your
auto, at least in Washington state, is says certificate of
title, do I really own the car? Try to find the 'allodial'
land title to a piece of personal property, don't you find a
tax stamp on it, issued by the state? Who owns the property?
Is this country so far in debt that we cannot even own the
land we stand on any more?
Who owns you? Do you have number that allows you to
work? Can you go anywhere in the country, work and get paid
in 'lawful money of the United States' without paing right
(or is it a privilege) to work taxes? Can you move about or
get married without a license? Why should the state care
were I go and what I do? Don't we have the right to pursue
happiness and the right to free association?
I personaly feel that I do not have the freedoms the
forefathers of this country died for. I trade my time for a
peace of paper that I take to the bank and trade for more
paper. The government comes along and takes 20 to 50% and
gives most of it the the person down the street who dose not
want to work. Don't get me wrong but those who can not work
need to be helped, but that is another issue. I take the
paper that is left over and I tender this piece of paper for
someone elses time (the product). I have not paid the debt,
look at your FRN's sometime, I have just tendered a piece of
paper that represents an obligation (see title 12 U.S.C) of
the United States with no promise to pay. When you get paid
what are you paid in? Dollars? Dollars of what? Who is in
control of your life?
Are you a freeman or are you a slave in a police state
that requires you to be numbered to work, a license to
drive, to build, to get married, to ..... and on and on?
Think about who you are, if you feel free than there is no
hope for you, but if this starts you thinking than read the
Declaration of Independence and ask yourself if what it is
saying isn't what has happened to use.
With a love for freedom and America(the way she was),
Dave.
