Thank your for rebutting my essay. Perhaps you are currently writing the essay that provides the detailed explanations that you didn’t provide in your rebuttal? Well anyway, here is what I would appreciate if you could include in it:

Please explain what holes are in my argument.

1. Please explain what the degrees of freedom are.

2a. Is declaring the truth considered imposing? I propose that it would only be imposing on those who are enemies of the truth. Please explain what isn’t true about what I said.
2b. Please explain how the social contract is part of our system of law. It would be great if you could provide references to it from the founding fathers’ writings.

You are basically saying that everyone must obey all laws because of some imaginary social contract. Very well, please provide the original “social” contract that I signed. Or two uninterested witnesses that will provide testimony that I agreed to it verbally.

David’s comment was stuck in a spam filter for several days for whatever reason. I just recently saw it there and released it.

1) Degrees of freedom can exist. Freedom is not either present or non-existent.

2) You are imposing your view of “freedom” on our current political system. The social contract IS a part of our political system. If you don’t like that, you’re entitled to ignore it–but you’ll face the consequences when you don’t pay your taxes or get caught smoking or breaking any of the other laws that conflict with your view of freedom.

Point 1: If we have to leave the lands that we own, or lands that no one owns, because of rules that other people have made, then we are not free. If this is truly the land of the free, with all of the people being independent sovereigns with unalienable rights, then the social contract theory of law cannot exist here. Freedom and the social contract cannot coexist.

Point 2: If we have to obey rules that other people have made without our consent, then those rules are being forced upon us. That is called “tyranny”.

Regarding democracy:

We live in a democracy? Well, perhaps if you live in the District of Columbia. Most of us live in constitutional republics. (A “constitutional republic” is where we have representatives that we require to swear an oath of office to obey a set of limitations called a constitution.) For evidence, please refer to the Pledge of Allegiance. For those who are interested, I shall explain where this “we are a Democracy” stuff is coming from:

1. Each state is an independent constitutional republic with its own constitution and representatives.
2. A central federal Democracy was created to assist the separate states with the organization of defense and inter-state dispute moderation.
3. It is this central federal Democracy that they are referring to, while totalling ignoring the fact that 99% of the people don’t live in one. Actually, I think they’d rather that you forgot that you did.

Do we want to “fight for Democracy”? Democracy is a system where the minority’s rights are not protected, and where the majority always wins. For this very reason, democracy is called “mob rule”. A quote about democracy:

“A democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government. It can only exist until the voters discover that they can vote themselves largesse from the public treasury. From that moment on, the majority always votes for the candidates promising the most benefits from the public treasury with the result that a democracy always collapses over loose fiscal policy, always followed by a dictatorship.”

What Ian is doing is not logically fallacious (with the exception of giving them the check at the same time as the conditional acceptance, but I suspect that he realizes this now). He is exercising his sovereign power to question anyone’s assumption that they have authority or jurisdiction over him. If evidence can be brought forward to prove their claim, then let it be. But if they can’t, then none exists. If none exists, then we certainly shouldn’t be doing anything they ask us to do!

The same methods of Notices and Demands that the government uses can be used against them. When they remain silent, they default and their silence is their consent. The use of notorial protest can be used to obtain default judgments against anyone, including our government servants.

Yes, they’ve been misleading us in their government schools, on TV, in the newspapers, and on the radio for so long that we have begun to believe their lies that “the government is all powerful, and no one is allowed to question them–we must do as they ask blindly”. The truth that our forefathers knew is fading into obscurity as fast as they can possibly help it along. For as soon as we do not know our unalienable rights, as soon as we do not know that we are free, sovereign individuals, then we can be easily enslaved. I will tell you how they are doing it.

What is the truth that they hope we will never learn? Here’s another maxim of law that will help you understand this: “the created cannot control the creator”. Witness the undisputable chain of power:

Creator–>Man–>Government

(Note in the below that I use “man” and “he” in the place of “wo/man” and “s/he”. I do not intend to mean that women do not have equal sovereignty.)

1. The creator created mankind and endowed them with unalienable rights.
2. All men are equal before the law (another maxim of law). Each man is a sovereign and is completely free. No man has jurisdiction over any other man. (Jurisdiction means “spoken oath”, therefore where there is no oath spoken, there is no jurisdiction. Also note that a signature is evidence of an oath, therefore contracts create jurisdiction.) Each man can do anything that he wishes, as long as he doesn’t harm another man or another man’s property.
3. Mankind can create laws to govern their creations, but these laws do not apply to the other free sovereign men. In order to create laws that apply to other free men, a contract must be created. Both men agree to something in the contract, and that contract becomes the law for those men. That contract does not apply to any other free men until they agree to it also.
4. Some men create governments. They sign their names on contracts to agree on the government’s limitations and duties. They give the government permission to act on their behalf to do various things. The people who run for government provide their consent to the government by swearing an oath of office. The government officials are elected into office by the voters, who provide their consent by registering to vote and participating in the act of voting. The remainder of the free people that do not participate in signing any government contracts, or voting, or running for office, or having anything to do with this creation of other men, are not governed by that creation. No social contract nonsense.
5. Some men are not aware of their freedom, and fall prey to the trickery of men with bad intentions. The men with bad intentions have worked for a long time to carefully create an illusion that all men are bound by their rules without needing their consent, and that everyone must sign their contracts whenever they want them to. These men would prefer that the people learn nothing about contract law at all! They trick the ignorant men into signing contracts such as “social security”, “voter registration”, “military draft registration”, and a whole assortment of government IDs, permits, licenses, and registrations. These contracts contain wording that gives the government jurisdiction over the free men, turning the free sovereign man into a government subject. Unfortunately, the parent tend to be the unwitting co-conspirators, telling us when we were young that we had no choice but to sign these horrible things.
6. Some men (like Ian and many others), after waking up and realizing what they have done, decide that want to be free again. They begin rescinding their signatures on their government contracts. They sent letters to their elected officials with proof of service to notify them that they have revoked their consent to be governed. The government dislikes this, and will tend to ignore them, hoping they do not understand how to use this silence against them.
