"All men recognize the right of revolution; that is,
the right to refuse allegiance to and to resist the government, when it's tyranny or it's inefficiency are great
and unendurable."
- Henry David Thoreau
Introduction
What follows is a spontaneous inspired writing which preceded
most of the other material in this volume. It is offered only as an emotional posture for constructive action. There
is no suggestion here, as certain weisenheimers have chided, that it should be sanctified historically or appended
to the original document.
A Further Declaration of Independence
Let it generally be known that there exists a country now lying
primarily dormant everywhere and yet morally above all others; a country which will be rendered actual by any means necessary
through the uncompromising courage and perseverance of just men and women everywhere; a country mighty and prosperous wherein
all and sundry may live and strive unhampered either by exploitation or unnecessary aid; wherein all may live in complete
and absolute Liberty with success dependent only and totally upon those circumstances pertaining to the individual; wherein
Liberty is defined as one's right to pursue life and happiness in any way which does not unjustly impact anyone else; wherein
government is limited to it's sole legitimate function of redressing any unnecessary assault, coercion, fraud, or other unjust
encroachment against any person, or the environment, to the detriment of any living thing; wherein it is recognized generally
among the populace that indiscriminate charity inevitably leads to the perpetuation of traits having no survival value, and
thereby reverses the process of evolution; wherein taxation is called by it's true name, theft, and government services are
paid for only by those utilizing them and only in direct proportion to value received; wherein the freedom to worship or not
worship according to one's understanding in the privacy of one's home or church, is jealously guarded everywhere; wherein
the right to secure, keep, and bear arms is defended even unto death; wherein individual Liberty is held to be the first and
highest ideal of all, is creatively implemented as the one uncompromisable premise, and is imaginatively and aggressively
preserved at any cost; and wherein all matters of government will be clearly outlined in a constitution based upon these principles,
and which document will, without favor to any vested interest, be subject to none but literal interpretation, and will, by
just men and women, be regarded and enforced as the supreme law of the land.
