What you refer to as “fad” I refer to as “the body of Constitutional decisions.” I would very much prefer that the Federal government be reduced to minimal size and necessary function; we disagree on the means and the optimum size.

The body of the Leviathan. Stare decisis is not good law in and of itself. The “self-evident” moral principles of the Natural Law declared as our Nation’s foundational legal theory must be paramount in every decision. If a decision supposedly according to some long chain of stare decisis does not reconcile to basic morals, then it is the chain of stare decisis which is broken.

Such intrusive questions are immoral. They are immodest.

One of America's early mottos:

Mind Your Business


The Fugio Cent


The Continental Dollar Coin

The Founders took seriously our Right to Be Left Alone and to Keep Our Affairs Private. Clearly it was a KEY REASON they were willing to risk life and fortune in a war against the British Monarchy and its intrusiveness into all men's affairs and business.

Be a real American.

Do not support the immodest and deeply un-American intrusive modern census questions.
