So why isn't that enough? Everyone's busy with the, "Therefore, this..." and, "Therefore, that..." WHY, for crissakes?<br /><br />The commies say, "Therefore we have to give till it hurts." The Muslims say, "Therefore we must all honor Allah." The statists say, "Country (or worse, the whole damn globe) above all else." The Constitutionalists say, "Constitution above all else."<br /><br />Everyone's worried about "infighting" and "circular firing squads" based on DERIVATIVES, so why not stick to the FUNDAMENTAL PRINCIPLE? The very next sentence says it clear enough..."These are evident branches of, rather than deductions from, the duty of self-preservation, commonly called the first law of nature."<br /><br />Which law of nature? Call me dense, but clue me in...WHY IS THAT NOT ENOUGH? Why not start with the "self-evident truths" and worry about all the "therefores" later on, once the dust settles?<br /><br />Begin at the beginning. Take half an hour and try this on for size...<br /><br />http://indarchist.files.wordpress.com/2013/08/and_then_there_were_none.pdfJim Kleinnoreply@blogger.com
