A lawful and peaceful revolution.

[osan]

The most meaningful revolution would be one that reinstates the Articles of Confederation as the main fundamental document controlling the power of the American state. As many have pointed out, despite the many libertarian concepts and checks and balances put into the Constitution, there were enough holes in it for crafty advocates of central power to circumvent it over time, into the total state fiasco we have now.

Since there is virtually zero chance of dispensing with "government", I would prefer to see a new constitution. Long ago I contrived a basic architecture for such an instrument that greatly outstrips the current document for clarity, completeness, and correctness. There needs to be a core document that specifies the Immutable Law. It would further specify the ethical framework within which all agents of "government" would be bound, along with the draconian punishments to be meted out to those who stray beyond the limitations set forth therein.

By the time I would be done, most "government" workers would be running for the exits, a million letters of immediate resignation resting on a million desktops, the unbridled making no effort to hide itself from public consumption.
