An explanation for what follows

 A few months ago I wrote a kind of political pamphlet which was modeled after the old Federal style broadsheets.  I don't particularly know what to do with it however since I'm not a professional writer.  Originally it was posted on scribd.com but didn't get a lot of readership.  Hopefully by breaking it down into blog length entries it will find a home here.

It shouldn't come as a surprise to anyone that the true origins of government are in tyranny.   Government has reordered itself and adjusted to unavoidable realities to become more respectable over time but its origins are a constant threat to what is of true value in this world, in my view individual self determination.

A good government as we see it exists to protect the citizen against that which has not been agreed upon.  Foreign invasion, crime, collectivization.

Because government will always be infected by its origins however it is a constant threat to degenerate from protecting us from that which hasn't been agreed to to becoming that which has not been agreed to.  

The sense that we are today at a precipice is what led me to write what follows.  It is a series of proposals to put government back in its proper role.

The monetary system--establishing full accountability to the American people rather than our suspect representative immersed as they are in an unbreakable dynamic that seems to lead to more power for them at the expense of the individual.

The Congress--how to reform it back to human proportions and re-instill our institutions with an overriding respect to the individual.

Judiciary--Don't despair!  In a well ordered system and with a few checks to their power the days of jurisprudence for the benefit of judicial power will be over (read on).

It starts off with a critique of conservatism's shortcomings in the political arena.  If you can brave your way through that however most self-described conservatives will find a lot to agree or at least fruitfully disagree with below.  Thanks for reading.
