This post intends to emulate a global round table discussion forum to address our governments foundation on which its built.

I hope to explore with you here new concepts to decommission our current government ..... and to instill into it a new foundation that serves only these concepts ..... and not the individual.

Government "........ at the pleasure of the people"





(my early thoughts and concepts in next post)
 
" .... But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security"
