What most of you don't get, is that this civilization is going to
collapse because it was built on the very ideas that you are espousing.

Who but a fool would take the ways of obvious losers and present them as
a key to success?

Oh Alan get real why don't you. America has lasted for over 200
years..In fact America is one of the few countries that has lasted
this long. And it will keep on keeping on. Yes there are some things
wrong with America, but its minor things that we the people will over
come.

I am trying to bite my tongue but 200 years is no time at all in most
nations history, England, Japan Egypt , Russia etc may have a slight edge
over the US :o) Though I agree Alan C has not got a clue, But I expect he
is a socialist and they really are clueless.

I should have been more clear, The US has had the SAME form of
Government for over 200 years. Other Countrys such as the ones you
mentioned have changed their forms of Government. Be it from:
revolution, elections, or civil unrest, or war. Their borders are the
same but their systems of govening have changed.

You know, I honestly think you believe your own bullshit, which is the
mark of the genuine fool.

Most of the people here couldn't survive without welfare and grocery stores.
They can't tell the difference between Hollywood and the real world.

Know what? A few years ago, I was just like you. 22 magnum derringer in a
leather sleeve in my front pocket. Knife in my boot. Scoped 270 in the trunk,
38 in the glove box. Got my limit every deer season and thought I was really
tough and wise.

One day I let myself get really pissed off at this leftist weenie on the usenet
and decided to teach that punk a lesson. Took me 3 weeks and a lot of dough
and a private investigator to track him down.

Played it smart and left my rig miles down the forest service road and went
in before dawn with map,compass, and penlight in full camo. I really meant to
kill him. It is the middle of fucking nowhere, and I can get away with it.
Will just bury the piece I actually use to do the job.

Suddenly, this little arrow, more like a dart, nails me in the leg. I hit the
ground and there is nobody there. I silently slip into a thicket and just sit
with my senses peeled. Pull the thing out, but the tip is in deep and it seems
to be barbed.

A few minutes pass, and I start to get dreamy and groggy. This woman comes up
and I just look at her. She's in full camo too, and smiling. I can't move or
do anything except in slow motion. I feel good...She's a fox.

Then there's some other people and I am on a stretcher. They never say a word
and don't make any noise at all. I realize that they think I am not alone. I
want to say something but I can't.

When I woke up, I was wearing a loose robe, nice and soft and someone had given
me a bath. There was a tray of food beside me and I was fokking hungry.

The same woman came into the room and told me that I would be staying with them
for two weeks. Because I had come intending violence, my Power Wagon and
weapons were history. I said "you can't do that!" and tried to grab her. She
put me right down on the floor in a blink! Then she said "You came here to kill.
The people down the creek would put you in the ground. Don't you think that
a two week all expenses paid vacation is a better punishment?"

To make a very long story short, I have been here every since. I have realized
that I had always lived before on the un-substantiated word of others. They
told me that the world and nature and people were dangerous and evil and I
believed them. Now I know better.

People aren't evil. They are ignorant. Ignorance IS an excuse.


They told me I had to obey laws passed without consulting me. Now I know better.


I learned that my life belongs to me. It doesn't matter what ANYBODY thinks.
I can do what I damned well please. And what pleases me is to dink around
in the gardens, make things with my hands, play in the forest, play music
with my friends, and so forth. So that's what I do. The fact that I have to
hide how I live from the Americans says a lot more about them than it does me.

(Free Country? Right...)

THAT'S why you people piss me off. It scares the hell out of me to remember
that I once bought the bullshit you live on, hook, line and sinker.

There. Now you know. Big deal.

systems of government. China has changed their system of government in

In the case of England, 15 June 1215.

Or if you want to know when our current form of government was set up it was
26 April 1660.

When you say royal houses have come and gone, you are right but then that
doesn't effect our system of government just as changing president doesn't
effect yours.

Judging by the signs, you're going or about to go through one of those
changes you're talking about. What kind of government you have afterwards
remains to be seen.

Let me see if I understand this:

You used to be a right-wing, chest-thumbing "my-country-right-or-wrong"
asshole with a grossly over-inflated sense of your own importance (sort of
like Goofer), who was so far gone in a delusional state that you actually
planned and attempted to murder someone who said things you didn't like and
disagreed with.

Your target and his friends caught you and brainwashed you into being a
left-wing chest-thumping "my-commune-right-or-wrong" asshole with a grossly
over-inflated sense of your own importance (sort of like Ick), who is now
convinced that the posters to MS are the source of evil in the world.

While your intended target(s) have shown admirable restraint and an
effective use of proven mind-control techniques, I fail to see any
fundamental change in the status quo - you still appear to be a partisan
asshole, you've just switched sides.

Your anger at discovering that you've been lied to and manipulated all your
life could certainly be directed at more worthy targets than posters to MS.

Do be sure and come back when you learn enough about Usenet to read the
headers you're publishing for the world to see. I have no idea what your
name is and actually couldn't care less. Alan Connor is an actual Earthlink
customer and the email is valid. Your dial-up access points to a POP
somewhere between Stockton and Sacramento. Since there is an Alan Connor
living in Courtland, just south of Sacramento, and since you're one stupid
arrogant mammie-rammer I'm betting on having it nailed. Even if not, what
difference does it make? It's not terribly hard to find out who actually
leased the IPs you're posting from at any given time.

Scuttle back down to your basement now, re-read _The Postman_, watch your
bootleg McGyver and A-Team re-runs on tape for another hour or three, and
wipe your sweaty carcass down with back issues of Mother Jones; I'm sure
you'll feel all better soon.

Warm hugz, Buttercup.

If "civilization is going to collapse", it will not be "because it was
built on the very ideas that you are espousing", but because those in
power have rejected "the very ideas that [we] are espousing".

Sometimes whan a computer ceases to function properly, you have to
"Ctrl-Alt-Del" and allow it to reboot.

You have not destroyed the computer or the computer system, you have
only re-set it back to a state of proper functioning, using the same
principles that were initially used.

God you are thick, China has had dozens of governmental systems and

America (the US) is not the nation it was originally. It is not

autocratic changes have been made incrementally since then.

Today we live in a corporate security state which derives it's

It should, but you need to learn much more before you know half as much as you

you're selling yourself. To me that's the worst kind of deception,
self-deception. If you can't even face the truth from yourself you are really
screwed.

>There. Now you know. Big deal.

Nothing surprising or earth-shattering there. Gullible people swallow bullshit
all the time. Sometimes they switch from one pile of bullshit to another, but
it's still bullshit.

No matter how thin you slice it, it's still BALONEY.


Each of us is a mixture of good qualities and some(perhaps) not-so-good qualities. In considering our fellow people, we should remember their good qualities and realize that their faults only prove that they are, after all, only human. We should refrain from making harsh judgments of people just because they happen to be dirty rotten sons-of-bitches.

I don't care. Just so you stay out of my real life, which is not a probem.
Americans are not allowed here.

As of the present, we have about 7500 acres where the laws of America have
no meaning. More is added every month. We are taking back the lands you stole
from Nature. And you can't do a damn thing about it.

Your government (YOURS, not ours) thinks that most of the properties are vacant
or only have a single caretaker living there, and most have timberland and
other property tax exemptions. To pay the small amount of property taxes that
are unaviodable, we steal resources from state lands. :-) See? There is a
way around anything.

This is why I have spent so much time messing with this guy, Every
time he types, he admits to more and more crimes that hes commited.
What a hoot..LOL.
Personally I think hes just some hippie wanna-be posting from his
mommys computer. If he is for real, maybe he should think about
running to Mexico, because some of the shit hes posted (such as using
chemical weapons to protect his pot garden) are pretty serious in the
eyes of the law given the times we are in. Its funny you know, he
started out bashing people who own firearms. When the folks here slam
him on his BS, he gets more off the wall, We should get him and Nancy
Ann Luft together. HEHE I can see it now, Alan and Nancy Ann battleing
the Spuknik forces with CO gas. I'm going to send him a fresh roll of
tin foil. His beanie is wearing out.
North. (who is not anti-pot, just dislikes those who would stoop to
using chemical weapons)

He says he wipes his ass with the constitution, but I'm willing to bet
that he will be the first to embrace it once the feds lock him up for
growing pot, and making and using chemical weapons. (just a few of the

And changes in government do matter. However, you're suggesting
that such changes are reversible or remediable. In the course of
history this has not happened. You are, I suspect, an optimist.

I'd call the 1789 departure from the Articles of Confederation a
major change. Then there is the 1861 military coup by Lincoln.
Followed by the 1913 inclusion of the Federal Reserve and Income
Tax Acts. Each one of these in its own way, represents a
dramatic change in the status of the government and the attitude
of the people. Each of these events forever altered the
direction, purpose and potential of the nation. The results of
these cannot be reversed.

The usual way to measure the lifespan of a 'people' is to
identify the beginning and end of their culture. The society
within the culture may change constrained by certain conditions,
and so may the government of the society. But this can happen
only a finite number of times. Once the tolerances of the
culture are exceeded, the society disintegrates.

The Romans are a popular example. The difference between the
early Roman Republic and the late Roman Empire period is to
compare night and day, a complete reversal of goals and values.
The Roman Republic officially lasted about 300 years.

Some, like Egypt and China, are said to be continuous
cultures but they were not. The people simply fell apart and
reformed in the same geographical area. China has been through
several of these cultural dissolutions over the past 4000 years
and numerous governmental changes.

The American Republic is at a change point as we can see when we
compare the values of the Founders to those of the pols of today.
It won't be called an "Empire" of course and only once it is
history will it be defined, but it will be as different to
us as Thomas Jefferson is to Bill clinton. Yep, the MTV attitude
is creating a new governmental structure as we speak.

Certainly, Signing of the Magna Carta, which effectively limited the
monarch's powers.

Before that the King did indeed have real power.

Cite: http://www.law.ou.edu/hist/magna.html (check the date it was signed at
the bottom of the page)

Ironically enough, the first cite I found was on an American University
website, whodathunkit.

> Again are you SURE about that ??

This one's more debatable, both by the fact that I got the day wrong (it was
the 25th rather than the 26th) and in that our form of government (two
houses etc) was in effect before that date, but the Civil war interupted
things.

Anyway, On 25th April 1660 the Converntion Parliament Convenes, this was
parliament in the current form with the House of Lords, House of Commons,
Speakler etc.

Cites:
http://www.pepysdiary.com/archive/1660/04/26/index.php This shows that that
was indeed when it convened (an Eye witness account)
http://www.pepysdiary.com/p/334.php Shows that the Parliament mentioned in
the above was of the modern form. (it is linked from the first cite)

Any changes to this form of government have been parliamentary reforms, very
similar to your constitutional amendments I suspect.

Are they American history books? I've found that those can be quite
inaccurate when it comes to British history.

BTW I am not an historian, I could indeed be wrong about either of these
events. However, so far, research has failed to prove me wrong. if you can
shed light on any inaccuracies I'd appreciate it.

Also, you obviously disagreed with those dates, can you tell me why (with
cites)?

Well.......The first two drafts were just as factual, but I had to work on
the politeness :-)

Mainly the fact that the "Are you SURE..." comment pushed one of my buttons,
I hate that kind of saying. If I wasn't sure, I wouldn't have posted it.

Especially when I posted exact dates in the original post, that should have
been a clear give away that I'd got the dates from an actual source and not
off the top of my head. Although I did purposefully leave out the events
those days referred to, just to see if anyone would check to see what I was
basing my facts on.

Evidently, no one could be bothered.

Anyway, I find that politeness usually gets a better response than the other
kind, people feel slightly foolish replying to a polite, factual post with a
one line "fuck off and die" reply.

Nicely said.

I just love the values of the Founding Fascists, who thought nothing of
slavery, and stealing a continent from anyone who didn't accept their
ideas of how to live, and utterly destroyed an entire culture that was
just living and minding its own business.

Europe sent its dregs to the New World and that is very clear from the

Heck, most of them are quite innacurate about our _own_ history. :(

Everyone has blind spots from time to time and these men were no
different. Their actions reflected the values and attitudes of
their time.

As for slavery, the people of the period in question were more
aware of the variations of slavery than current American society.
Slavery is the absence of freedom and liberty. There were bond
slaves, indentured servants and apprenticed labor. There were
Crown prisoners forced to work and could be purchased from the
Crown to continue working under a new master. Then there came the
Negro slaves from Africa, complete with bill of sale. They were
legal property. Some were freed outright, others bought their
freedom while others died as property.

Treaties were made with all Indian tribes except those in
Florida. These treaties defined each tribal group as a nation
and these treaties spoke of each as a separate country. That is
why Indians were not included in the Constitution. The US was not
their nation.

Similarly, slaves were not represented in the Constitution, white
or black. They were property and until they were free men they
could not be citizens of any state.

The legal aspects of this changed in 1867 as former slaves
were placed in federal custody and the states compelled to
grant them citizenship.

There was then, as today, no single definition or structure of
slavery. It is a complex interaction of law, government and
society.

But what about today? What would you say of a man who is
compelled to work 8 to 5 for 40 years and hand over 50% of
everything he makes to government? Who cannot die and
deliver his property intact to his heirs but instead must
pay the government.

It is said today that there is freedom but who is really free who
must work at jobs that must be reported to government? Oh yes.
Every time someone is hired he must sign papers compromising his
freedom and he be reported to the state and federal government. A
portfolio exists on each citizen conjoined by the Commerce
Department (birth & death records), the IRS (tax records) the
Social Security Administration, and state vehicle departments
(driver's licenses). This database is now shared internationally.

Who is really free when government controls all matters of the
economy, where there are only government banks and every
transaction is recorded, tracked and scrutinized? Americans today
are totally dependent on the economy which is to say that they
are totally dependent on government. Permanent dependents. Is
that not a form of slavery?

And what of the recent federal ultimatum that every other
government on the planet must become "democratic" or be declared
terroristic? That every nation must "partner" with the World Bank
and the International Monetary Fund? "Democratic" and "partner"
are code words for "join our voluntary association or be
destroyed". Note the current agonies of Argentina, Peru, Columbia
and Brazil as they struggle to live under the boot of the IMF.
European governments have sold out by forming their own union
of surveillance and economic dependency. It seems the entire
planet is destined to become a replica of the US.

This is the age of the security state writ large as each man's
liberty must be taken in order to control him. For his
cooperation he will get an 8 to 5 job. Then he will have the
honor of paying tribute to his master.

So much for the values of the "Founding Fascists". At least they
valued non-interference, gold and private banks. They were
honest, the yoke of slavery was visible.
