> And your “Model Government”? What powers do they have? At what level do they function? (community, city, etc ...).
I’m in favor of zero involuntary social contact, which necessarily implies zero government. We are so far from that circumstance that there is not much point in worrying about it, for now. What we’re talking about here is what language to eliminate from the constitution to cut the federal leviathan down to a manageable size. I’m winning the debate, but that’s simply because I’m kicking the stilts out from under the whole monstrous machine: The text I propose to eliminate is precisely the language that gives the federal government its tyrannical powers.
If people reading here would like to see, in broad outlines, how a mutually-voluntary civilization could work, see me here:

Please note, especially if you think an hysterical lack of self-control is an intellectual argument, that that essay is off-topic for this discussion.

God did not make men equal. Colonel Colt made men equal. If you’re not willing to fight for your freedom, you are a slave. This is not difficult to understand.
Okay Greg, I understand.
You want nation wide anarchy and the rule of the fittest.
Good Luck.
