RE: City Kicked Out Their Cops and Politicians 7 Years Ago and Now They Have the Lowest Crime in Mexico
This is an awesome example of not only self governance but self defense. This is why governments don't want citizens to be well armed. A lot of anarchist don't like the constitution but I think this type of self-governing in mexico is much closer to what the constitution was meant to be than what it has become today. I don't think we need a constitution to make us free but we can learn a lot from it.
The Declaration of Independence set us free, the Constitution doesn't concern us and is not there to "free" us, a much too common misconception, it only concerns our employees and the delegated powers they have, the people have Self Rule, we Self Govern, so the constitution, or the Constitution(s) (there's 3) are there either as an unilateral good faith Contact or is one of the two, now bankrupted Corporate Charters.
You are absolutely correct that the constitution does not "free" us. I am not saying we should have a Constitution at all. What I am suggesting is learning from this document as a lot of founding fathers fought hard to make the US as decentralized as possible. The original document played out in real life would look a lot closer to this town in mexico then what is in reality here in the US today.
For example the power structure was meant to be the city's on top then the states and then the federal government. Today we have the exact opposite of that.
To just dismiss something because of preconceived notions does more harm then good. It is really easy to study and learn from things you disagree with.
Its not any more wisdom in that document than any other Corporate Charter or similar Good Faith Contract, they are mere documents, that aside, what the motivation was behind that hard fight is what we ought to learn about.
well you can learn a lot from documents so don't approach it with a closed mind. we can learn something from anything
Indeed but besides the face value a document imparts, what possibly could one learn, it's not exactly dripping with wisdom or insights, and you can stick your head up a possums ass to be thought "something" also, you might call that a "closed mind", I've been called worse, I consider myself a realist, and a darn good critical rationalist.
