quoting nevent1q…a8ya

> If we were to abolish the political oppression of centralization; if we were to emancipate ourselves from tyranny; we could have thousands of tiny self-governing communities as our forebears enjoyed. If we abolished centralized governance, so much anger and hatred towards each other would disappear. People could live with like-minded people governed as they desire. All of “we the people” would benefit. The ones who would suffer would be bureaucrats and our overlords in D.C. If we were a Christian society loving others as we love ourselves, we would not force them to suffer under a political system they did not ask for and do not desire.
