I disagree I believe I owe alliegence to a government that is of for and by the people
This ain't it tho
Perhaps you haven't thought this all the way through. Of, for and by which people? Do I get to decide who makes the rules for my family, or does some majority-rule mob call all the shots? Ick.
I don't think any government, other than self government, actually is.
The problem with nations is that they inherently combine disparate peoples in collective effort.
The other problem is that we need nations to survive now. Pandora's box was opened ages ago, and he who has the most toys wins, at least on Earth.
You’ve got it backwards. The government that is for and by the people is a government that owes allegiance to the people, not the other way around.
I didn't sign the declaration of independence nor the constitution, why should I agree to something I had no say in, something I didn't have a say in when the terms were forming, and also a contract I didn't sign? I owe allegiance only to God
Amen.
