We need "permission" for so many things in this country...

Interesting read from Peter Kershaw. www.http://hushmoney.org/MarriageLicense-5.htm

for you just to live nowadays if we really think about it.

It's truly sad. If people would just realize most of their problems come from government running their lives for them.

Did they ever think that we might have more medically insured people, fewer poor, more jobs, better citizen security, if we all didn't get nickeled and dollared to death for basically every move we make in life.
These are just a few examples.

Why is being individually prosperous not encouraged by our government?

One View:

Basically its about stealing your money. You can burn a fireplace, inside the house of course, whenever you want. So, whats the difference? Consider it an unjust tax or, just "nonsense", I suspect. A luxury tax?

View Two:

They want to control you! They love to control! Control, control, control!

Extra:

Stupid laws are made according to the population growth, hence, more people, more stupid laws.

recreational or religious fires are exempt from any permit requirements. Have hot dogs and bibles on hand....

...in the military have is this: It is easier to get forgiveness than it is to get permission.

I try to apply this wherever I can...I can usually take the hit for it. People will get so frustrated and fed up if you continually feign ignorance or outright stupidity that you can usually get away with ignoring stupid rules. :)

Freedom vs. Tyranny: Here We Go Again

By Darrell Corbyn

Most Americans believe we live in a free country where our money and lives are ours to control. They contrast our perceived freedom with openly Communist countries like China and North Korea and conclude that we must be a free country. But the oppressive laws, regulations and taxes imposed on us by recent Presidents and their administrations far exceed what was done to us by King George III of England before the American Revolution. Ronald Reagan recognized this in 1985: "America was born in the midst of a great revolution sparked by oppressive taxation...Well, my friends, the time has come for a second American revolution."

Taxes

When Americans think of taxes, most people immediately think of the income tax that is deducted from their wages. Unfortunately, this is only a small fraction of our contribution to our ever increasing government. Most of our contributions come in the form of an indirect tax. This can include taxes on items and services such as: our enormous gas tax, toll roads, license fees, permits, sales tax, property tax, entrance fees and at least eighty other taxes that we pay every year without thinking. There are also many hidden taxes that we never see that are passed on to us in the form of a price increase from manufacturers and businesses. Also there is the forgotten tax, inflation.

An indirect tax is considered voluntary because you are not forced to pay it unless you buy the product or use the service. Since these taxes and fees are placed on items and services most Americans use or need to operate in our society, they are hardly voluntary.

In all, US citizens are persuaded to give up to 64% of their income each year to the government for redistribution. This includes spending our money to fight undeclared wars, pay interest to the unconstitutional private Federal Reserve, and fund services that the majority of us don’t agree with or even know about. This is more than ten times as much as King George III was taxing us before we stood up against England in the American Revolution. Former IRS Commissioner T. Coleman Andrews said it all in 1956, "I believe that a better way to raise revenue not only can be found but must be found because I am convinced that the present system is leading us right back to the very tyranny from which those, who established this land of freedom, risked their lives, their fortunes, and their sacred honor to forever free themselves..."

As long as we are able to keep buying a few luxury items and continue to get a check that has the appearance of acceptable taxation, most people consider themselves free even though many are enslaved by debt. We grumble about the 10 to 20% missing from our check to pay the obvious taxes, but we do nothing about it. However, if the real amount of up to 64% was taken out all at once and we were left with only 36% of our income, there would be an immediate uprising against our government. As Johann Wolfgang von Goethe said "None are more hopelessly enslaved than those who falsely believe they are free."

Laws and Regulations

Instead of simply punishing those who harm others, the entire population is oppressed with laws and regulations that are designed for the exception rather than the rule. Every year thousands of them are passed at Federal, State, County and City levels that control every aspect of our lives and infringe on our right to live free. Many of these laws are said to be for our safety, security, or well-being, but they have nothing to do with protecting the rights of the people. These laws and regulations pile up year after year, rarely expire, and eventually make criminals out of good citizens. Furthermore, legislation like the Patriot Act and the issuance of Executive Orders that give outright power to the President, openly violate the Constitution and strip us of our freedoms.
Unknown to most people, Presidential Directives like NSPD-51 and HSPD-20 that are issued by the President, give him dictatorial power upon his sole determination and declaration of a “catastrophic emergency.” They include broad definitions and lack Congressional oversight that is suppose to protect the people. All of this is done without regard for the Constitution, and is hardly the workings of a free society.

If the definition of freedom is the power or right to act, speak, or think freely, then we are losing it to these totalitarian measures. Early in the 20th century, Americans forgot the true meaning of freedom and now accept an alternate definition given to them by select leaders. People now consent to laws being passed that take away their liberties and right to privacy, while believing it will help preserve their freedom. This type of Orwellian Doublethink has become common and is rarely ever challenged.

Our freedom is not a gift from the government with terms and conditions. It is our natural right, and it was bequeathed to us by our forefathers long ago through a bloody struggle. Thomas Paine, the catalyst for the American Revolution, said “It is the duty of the patriot to protect his country from his government.”

come with training on how to have a proper camp fire? At $50 they should include training.

we have government to protect us. Can you imagine the chaos and suffering in a world without shameless bureaucrats? Why people would be free to just do whatever they want on their own property! No, no, we need these people to manage us so that we don't screw things up ourselves. Obviously they are far more competent and reasonable....

that there were over 60,000,000 laws on the books.

I would love to see those that say "WE NEED A LAW" attempt to read and understand all the ones we currently have.

Contracts, contracts, contracts...

I just bought a motorcycle in TN and it reminded me of all the BS that a person has to go through just to change vehicles. New title, new registration, new insurance, new license, pay tax on the purchase, pay tons of processing fees. What a joke!

Asking for permission and do it.
