You don’t make any sense.
Go Sooners!

“Those such as you who are gifted with 20/20 hindsight and moral superiority concerning events of more than two centuries ago, well, it’s just a pity you weren’t around in 1776 to correct all those morally deficient founders.”
Absolutely. In fact, no time travel is needed. Those who think that way and think that Jefferson betrayed the rights that he outlined in the D of I, should give up (or pay back) any and all gov’t benefits such as Social Security and Medicare/Medicaid or forego them when they reach retirement age, as each such benefit is a violation of liberty, an enslavement, of other people or future generations that provide these benefits.
They should have ‘been there’ at Ruby Ridge and Waco, bearing arms against the State, in fact they should be in DC right now - no excuses, standing up for what they believe! Die for it if needed. If not, then they are hypocrites.
bump for later
Another bump for a bit more hope Jefferson’s America will survive...
Perhaps that would be because I'm responding to a proposition which, itself, makes no sense.
Look, I'm from farming country. Went to Oklahoma State, not OU, by the way.
And I'm familiar with -- and sensitive to -- the rural-urban farmer/developer tug-of-war. But the underlying principle of the survey has nothing to do with it.
Even where property lines are described in deeds as "from the big rock under the bluff downstream to the red oak tree" are still subject to "urban sprawl" -- and the farmer/developer conflict.
By the same token, in Western Oklahoma, which is flat as a billiard table and carved into precise one-mile squares by the surveyor's transit, there is precious little evidence of "urban sprawl".
None that I've seen, anyway...

Want to be seen passing thru town with a transit...
