deadin said:There is an old proverb in business that if a company doesn't re-invent itself every 100 years or so, it's doomed to failure. And by re-invent I mean change. I think the same thing could be said about government. If it's static, as some seem to want by advocating returning to 1775, it's not going to work.
Government is not a private company. Private companies do not KILL YOU if you question their authority. The sole legitimate reason for gov't to exist is to protect my God-given rights, and by "protect" I mean hold the threat of punishment over those who violate them after the fact. When the gov't itself fails to do its job, that's not a "change", that's time for it to go. For reference, see the Declaration of Independence, Thomas Jefferson, and many other Founders.
