Fine. You laziness is noted.

Here.

"Every nation has a right to govern itself internally under what forms it pleases, and to change these forms at its own will; and externally to transact business with other nations through whatever organ it chooses, whether that be a King, Convention, Assembly, Committee, President, or whatever it be. The only thing essential is, the will of the nation." --Thomas Jefferson

You used this argument in the context that none of our Rights are anything more than government whims.

You also posted this little tid-bit:
Nations have rights, societies have rights, anarchists have noise.

Once again advocating group rights, instead of individual Rights.

In post #170, you throw out this gem:
"It is agreed by those who have seriously considered the subject, that no individual has, of natural right, a separate property in an acre of land, for instance. By an universal law, indeed, whatever, whether fixed or movable, belongs to all men equally and in common, is the property for the moment of him who occupies it, but when he relinquishes the occupation, the property goes with it. Stable ownership is the gift of social law, and is given late in the progress of society." --Thomas Jefferson

Your selective usage of qoutes would've seen you called out to the "feild of honor" in thier time for such slander. It'll avail you not much more here either.

Good quote. Our Constitution restricts federal infringement of the right to keep and bear arms.

Another crash and burn, Dead Corpse.

What is even more bizarre about the #170 'quote', is its being TOTALLY out of context.
TJ is refering to an indian tribes views on the ownership of land.
Roscoe is well aware that he is lying about & misquoting Jefferson. He doesn't care, being a complete revisionous scumbag on the subject. Roscoe hates our constitution.
