The occupying statist theocracy infesting this land, with its compelled compliance, license, victimless crimes, larceny with impunity, usurpations, tyrannical violence / perpetual war, theocratic dogmas and canons, corrupt courts, executions antithetical to the laws of nature and of nature's God, anti-just legislation and otherwise despotic enforcements and criminal activities is not a government of the legitimate kind ! ! ! That I could rate this with innumerable stars an infinite number of times. YES ! ! !  -- Mike, Norwalk      3
