Our founders created a government. Why, to pass the time?
If they wanted to undue a unjust government, they could have just revolted and smoked pot on the beach instead of enduring the arduous process of forming the Constitution, and taking upon themselves the duty, the unpleasant responsibility, of government.
They did it because...communities (large, small, local, global) must be organized. Sorry for that unfortunate choice of words, there. This is no endorsement of either global government or community organizers.
It came across as an endorsement, and since you have been here since 2003, it seemed out of place.
“They did it because...communities (large, small, local, global) must be organized.”
They set it up to be, as Glenn Beck put it, just this side of anarchy. Basically to give access to national defense and a court system. Not this abomination we have now.
