Ha! i forgot whose post I was reading then came to the end and it was yours. Too many posts read today... time for a walk (and the dogs know it and are breathing noisily behind me). Did I tell you I carry? Yep. My duty I feel. The problem about rights: it seems that once the State morphs into a paternal state where they give things away, then it automatically owns its citizens. We become property of the State. And the State, since it owns you, then no longer honors "rights" but rather dispenses and takes away rights. That's why citizens of our fair land turn to the government and say things like "We have a right to health care, education, housing, food, jobs, computers... you name it. Just like a child would go to a parent and say,"Whats for dinner?" The State becomes the parent in a very real way. And so the State will allow us to have weapons or not. I assure you, were it not for our votes, we'd have no rights to weapons. Blessings.
After writing or painting for eight hours and I come on steemit I know how you feel @mistermercury. I donn't think the state should be involved in my life, like we have to get a licence to do anything, even when we get married. We get birth certificates, social secruity numbers...we are collard, tracked and owned from birth to death.
I have always wondered if we would disapear in the eyes of the state if we didn't have any digits to track us....
The state thinks it owns us but the monster is delusional, absolutely insane...
Even if we vote many times the state finds a way to wiggle out of it's contract with us and do what it wishes...
The state makes for a very bad parent or spouse, it's a psychopath...sigh..I was married to one for many years and I tell you the gaslighting is the same.
Alright @reddust I've looked at your amazing chicken so now I'm asking you to look at this amazing post I did this morning. Really. I need your opinion. Hope you enjoy.https://steemit.com/humor/@mistermercury/p0lynesian-cross-dresser#@angelfire808/re-mistermercury-p0lynesian-cross-dresser-20180514t231028657z
