That George Mason - what an absurd fellow!
From the Virginia Declaration of Rights: "SEC. 14. That the people have a right to uniform government; and, therefore, that no government separate from, or independent of the government of Virginia, ought to be erected or established within the limits thereof."
"no government separate from" and "within the limits thereof" = "local government" = "not from Great Britain"
Correct me if I am wrong, but are you not the same hypocrite who just accused me of "interpreting" non-existant text into the written word of the Virginia constitution? Yet here you are, interpreting it into the text when, unlike the clause stating that Virginia's connection to Britain had been "totally dissolved," no such words appear there. The word "local" is not in that document and third degree separations whereby you extrapolate its presence through synonymous equations simply do not suffice to put it in!
You've lost, Black Knight, and now you're biting at kneecaps. It's pathetic, but also quite humorous to watch, you know.
