What Do You Love?

What do you love? Do you want the freedom to enjoy more of whatever it is? What if others don't approve of your love? For some it is guns. For others it is the high they get from mind altering substances; or it is music, books, pets, cars, gardens, photography, or...? As long as you do not violate anyone else's rights while you enjoy yourself, it is no one's business. Government gets in the way of almost all of those "loves" in one way or another. Either through regulation or outright prohibition. Remember the line from the Declaration of Independence about governments being established to secure "life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness"? This is exactly what it was describing. Seeking our bliss without harming anyone else. When government gets in the way of our pursuit of happiness, it has gone rogue and overstepped its authority. When government gets in the way of "life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness" it is the right and responsibility of the people to bring government back in line or to wipe the governmental slate clean and start over. Read the Declaration of Independence if you don't believe me. Also read the list of complaints against King George and see how many the current George, along with his army of Tyrannocrats, has also committed.
