Government, is it the end all be all of life?
In America today I have observed a lot of folks depending on government to define who they are and what they can or can not do!!! Some folks have a misguided notion about where our rights come from. There are two major schools of thought on this, one is that governments grant us our rights, and the other is that we have our rights as a blessing from God, or the natural law point of view.
Depending on government for everything, or just a portion of things you have is a very dangerous position to be in. At any moment the government can change and the whims of those in power can change what they give you. If on the other hand, if your rights predate government, they can’t be arbitrarily changed at a moments notice. I believe too many folks conflate rights with consequences for exercising our rights.
When governments dictate what rights the people have and how they will exercise those rights, then you are not living in freedom or liberty, you are living in a despotism!!!
