Joe, I need some help: Page 18: I am having trouble making sense of these words. I have a fuzzy fealing of what they mean, but by the time I get to the end of the paragraph, I do not completely understand: Our government is God's law according to you, and I can almost share that entire version of law according to you. But the words that I think I would use at this time are Common Law, or Natural Law, or God's Law, as our government, which is a voluntary agreement subject to revision, but based upon the same voluntary government avoiding deceit, threats, and violence willfully perpetrated upon the innocent. That above is how the paragraph currently reads as I had previously changed a word and punctuation. And still feel the need to do something with it. Originally it was written as follows: http://www.dailypaul.com/comment/2815776 Can you see in your way of thinking a way to make the meaning more clear? Thanks!

5/20/13 page 20 This is fundamental and if anyone challenges you on socialism versus capitalism then consider the possibility of challenging THEM on the verb, not the noun. Made 2 sentences and added comma: This is fundamental. And if anyone challenges you on socialism versus capitalism, then consider the possibility of challenging THEM on the verb, not the noun.

bear, Here is the sentence: Our government is God's law, according to you, and I can almost share all of that version of law according to you, but the words that I think I would use, at this time, is Common Law, or Natural Law, or God's Law, as our government, which is a voluntary agreement, subject to revision, but based upon the same voluntary government, avoiding deceit, threats, and violence willfully perpetrated upon the innocent. I can restate the meaning as this: Our shared understanding is such that God is the power governing all creation, you are much more specific as to what is or is not God's Law, and I merely confess that I don't know much about those Laws that govern us, I can be satisfied with calling these Laws that govern us by using the word Natural Law, or even Common Law, so long as government is then understood to be our shared understanding to avoid harming each other. That is a different way of saying the same thing, and I don't know if you think one is better than the other, or if one can help the other in constructing a even better version. I can try again with another competitive example, if you think it may help in conveying the intended message without too much error or confusion.

Thank you for the words, Joe. I have incorporated some of your new words into the paragraph and have come up with the following to page 18:Our government is God's law according to you, and I can almost share that entire version of law according to you. But the words that I think I would use at this time are Natural Law, or even Common Law, so long as government is then understood to be our shared understanding to avoid harming each other. Such a government that is a voluntary agreement subject to revision and based upon avoiding deceit, threats, and violence willfully perpetrated upon the innocent. If you would prefer something different, you can tell me now or make changes when the ball is back to you. Thank you for your help
