That Declaration, and the two articles of government that followed it within a quarter century were written by and for a people that no longer exist. If were a younger man or had children and grandchildren I would be far more angry today than I am, and more animated to change it now. The future of this country is grim in my opinion- things are already starting to unravel at the most basic levels. We are ruled by incompetent people, and we are increasingly an incompetent people outside of government. We are devolving.

That government exists to provide law and order does not mean it must or should exist forever. On the contrary, it means that we created government in general, and our government in particular, to do one job (or a small set of jobs), and if they decide not to do it or prove incompetent we should fire them and set up another.

And one of the biggest impediments to that happening is Pournelle's Iron Law: bureaucrats deciding that government should exist to employ themselves, rather than to protect everybody. That's what we have now, and the only reason most people believe it's still working is that Big Media are all in bed with the deep state.

What has your Covid experience been like? How many times did you take the vaccine, if any? How long ago did you take it? Some people claim that the vaccines don't work, others disagree.

Providone iodine nasal spray. Dilute store bought providone iodine 1:10 and put in a nasal spray bottle. Twice a day. Inhale when squirting - I squirt twice. Or not, I found it works great - even use it with colds. COVID was mild cold for me (53).

I object to the "rulers" and "ruled" conception. Public officials are my (together with my fellow citizen's) employees. They have an obligation to make laws and we as they in their public capacities have an obligation to obey.
