Taylor's Homework

How can people live in peace without government?

The RNC Welcoming Committee believes that if you give a community just enough resources and power to function for themselves and not enough to control others that is how we will have peace. In their eyes this is not chaos.




What basic part of human nature does this underestimate?


It underestimates out sinful human nature and our inability to function in chaos.

RNC Welcoming Committee:
It seems as if the RNC (Republican National Convention) Welcoming Committee strives to destroy this American convention. They are on neither Republican or Democratic sides, but seem to want to make both disappear altogether. They are an anarchist, anti-authoritarian group of people. It seems to me that the RNC Welcoming Committee is not impressed with the way that Americans have been handling our politics. I will say that I do not understand this group of people, but i have seen what they do. They are protestors, looking to destroy all that Americans have built up in politics.



"I believe in the United States as a government of the people, by the people, for the people; who's just powers are derived from the consent of the governed; a democracy in a republic, a sovereign nation of many sovereign states, a perfect union, one and inseparable, established upon those principles of freedom, equality, justice and humanity in which American patriots sacrificed their lives and fortunes.

i therefore believe it is my duty, to my country, to love it, to support it's Constitution, to obey it's laws, to respect it's flag and to defend it against all enemies FOREIGN AND DOMESTIC. "
