Bob Dylan said "To live outside the law you must be honest." Smart fellow.

"But this necessity (to resort to violence) does not arise out of the nature of man, but out of the institutions by which he has already been corrupted. Man is not originally vicious. He would not refuse to listen, or to be convinced by the expostulations that are addressed to him, had he not been accustomed to regard them as hypocritical, and to conceive that, while his neighbour, his parent and his political governor pretended to be actuated by a pure regard to his interest, they were in reality, at the expence of his, promoting their own. Such are the fatal effects of (political) mysteriousness and complexity."

--William Godwin, An Enquiry Concerning Political Justice (1793), Vol. II.

Thanks for sharing your luminous words, as well as the cool memes & feisty tweets! Freedom is a beautiful gift from the Divine and I suspect the Divine knows better than human governments about life, soul and who we are. To be free and take our chances, trusting in our self, works better for us all.

Hear, hear, and well said. The subject of sovereignty (in all its simplicity and complexity) has been very much on my mind for quite a while. The song "Bogus Nation" from my new EP, MISFIT, is on a totally similar wavelength. Happy to comp you, Angela, and anyone else for that matter who'd be interested in giving it a listen ...
