The Ninth Amendment Center

If you think that any level of government has a purpose more important than protecting the inherent rights of individuals then you are part of the problem not part of the solution. The founders of our nation wrote divided powers into the Constitution, not so that there would be more governments exercising their power and running your life, but so that there would be more safeguards for your liberty. They understood that the nature of human government is to become corrupt and excessive and they hoped that three branches of government and having both state and federal governments would create a situation where there would always be someone who found advantage in looking out for the rights of the people.

A bit too much "what if" in this article, but it makes some very good points.

"What if liberty really is attached to humanity? What if all rational people yearn for personal freedom? What if the government — in order to stay in power — has detached liberty from humanity and made it a gift of the state instead of a gift of God? What if government knows that by restricting and then expanding liberty, it can command loyalty?"

What if Liberty is Attached to Humanity? What if there is a sense of hopelessness in the land? What if this hopelessness is bred by a government that kills, lies, steals, conceals and denies?
