Rather a depressing reply in that I can’t poke holes in it.
You make a strong argument that I’m not qualified to challenge. I don’t see a reasonable objection to be made.
And so it goes, the federal government able to enslave us at will.
Sorry. Look on the bright side. Knowledge is power. If my arguments are correct, then the sooner they are understood, the better. It sucks when you're driving and you don't realize for a while you took a wrong turn. But at some point, if you are ever going to reach your destination, you have to discover that the route you are on is incorrect, and does not lead to where you intend to go. You may have to chart a new course from there, or simply backtrack. But recognizing that your route is not correct is in fact progress.
We just have to man up and face facts.
The bottles stand as empty, as they were filled before,
Time there was and plenty, but from that cup no more,
Though I could not caution all, I still might warn a few,
Don't lend your hand to raise no flag atop no ship of fools.
