such legislation. They consent to
it when they voluntarily register to vote. Here's the reason. If the idea of voting is to be credible, then it's necessary that voters must
abide by the results, whether or not they approve of the legislation. If people vote with their "fingers crossed behind their backs", intending to comply only if they agree with the legislation, then the entire process is a mockery of democracy and an exercise in futility. While I was divesting
myself of obligations to the government, high on my list was my voter status.
With that gone, I don't consent to the legislation, even by implication.
I can credibly assert that it doesn't have any legitimate jurisdiction over
me, only the jurisdiction of despotism. Regarding democracy generally,
I believe that if a society is too big for its members to meet in one place,
and vote by a show of hands, then that society is too big to be a democracy.
No matter how democracy is arranged, its jurisdiction should be voluntary.![]() ![]() —editor ![]() ![]() —Tom from Redwood City ![]() ![]() ![]() Fiction by Sam Aurelius Milam III Derrick: ... so for now I'm waiting on the court to act on my motion.
