I with you on that — the “Founding Fathers” were, for the most part, the good guys.
But I am convinced that all governments here, starting with the US Government, are private corporations masquerading as constitutional governments. And that almost all laws are civil/commercial law, which, for the most part, do not apply to us as human beings. There are a few “true” laws, but, of course, those are not being enforced as they might apply to the thieves, er, public servants themselves.
