Here is a list of random thoughts I have kept over the years as various news stories came up. This list is in no way a final list of thoughts, and it maybe not even be well thought out and it has some emotional responses in it to those news sotries. I don’t back everything in it as even I change my mind once I cool down, but I do think it makes a good starting point with various issues we have seen over the past number of years and I offer it as a point of conversation.

Assumptions
1. There will never be the ability to prevent special interests within government legislatures. All laws must allow the people the right to negate such affects of special interests and help prevent tyranny.
2. All governments revert to force against the people when enough power and money are applied and desired by those that control the government.
3. All government programs get bigger, never smaller.
4. People are fallible, but also lie, cheat, and steal purposefully.
5. Power comes from grouping or organization of like minded people. Such power should never be held by anyone within or influencing government. This is a country of individuals represented, not mob rule.
6. Individuals perform best and create a better country when left to make their own decisions without influence of government.
7. None of us is as dumb individually as all of us collectively.
8. The people give the government its power and shall enjoy all powers they give.
9. Money is a holding of a person’s labor. A person’s labor is their life. Taking their money is taking part of their life. Money is not something to be taken lightly.
10. The Interstate Commerce clause is void. The federal government has proven abuse of the privilege.

Weapons of mass destruction shall include only those weapons whose use may injure or kill multiple people at once and shall not include individual firearms or small explosives.

6. The government shall have the right to make law regarding the safe storage and use of weapons of war that are chemical, biological, or nuclear devices, or any such type of weapon as may be invented that is capable of causing mass destruction. Such law shall be restricted to ensuring public safety and may not prohibit the possession, ownership, or proper use of such weapons.
7. No property shall have as a condition of purchase or possession any requirement of association or commerce with any person, organization, or other properties. All such existing deeds restrictions are void.
8. No person shall be required to vacate their property under any circumstance, including declared emergencies or natural disasters, except under warrant for arrest for crimes, nor shall the government be responsible for the safety for those who choose not to vacate under government recommendation.
