    Since a fledgling concept of individual sovereigns (each and every, any and all being noble heirs of an eternal King) attempted to administer natural law and secure personal inalienable rights was replaced by carnal gods mastery demonic legal positivism, socialisms statist enforced collectivism, implementation of compelled compliance, government licenses, victimless crimes, larceny with impunity (2nd plank of the communist manifesto, Social Security, police state confiscations, titles replacing perfected allodium, etc.), alienation of natures endowed rights, and the concept of he who has the most gold and guns rules. "We The People" - individually and in concert, no longer have representatives.

    All mentally ill expect and exist for submission. Submission is the mentally ill's highest motivation. Mentally healthy treat you with equal regard and respect. The authentic American is expected to bow at every moment to the pseudo-Americans who hold positions of authority. Mentally healthy have no expectations of submission  and desire no submission from anyone. The real American never expects submission.

    Additionally the mentally ill judge you by what you wear, skin color, hair length and they act in accordance to that. The mentally healthy judge you by what is in your heart, and respond accordingly.

    I've judged no one. Your have to be in accordance with sound reasoning and make sense. I'm just saying I don't understand those who don't follow this principle. Also, I try to follow the lonely path of righteousness.
